Elfrida Rathbone 1871 1940 was an England English educationist . She was the cousin of Eleanor Rathbone . Elfrida Rathbone was convinced that all children were capable of learning. In 1916 she began to teach in a special school in the King s Cross, London King s Cross area of London, for children who were not thought to be capable of learning. She worked with another cousin, Lillian Gregg, who had set up a special kindergarten for young children considered to be uneducable & mentally defective . Her aim was to demonstrate that these children could learn and progress if given appropriate teaching. Already, in the early 1900 s Lillian Gregg was challenging the damaging effect of judgmental attitudes implicit in labelling people. She adopted a young child with a learning difficulty whom she taught to read and write and function normally, but both she and the child died in the influenza epidemic of 1918. Elfrida continued their work and, eventually the kindergarten came to include an occupational centre for children excluded from schools, and a centre with cr che facilities for women with mental and physical disabilities. She always upheld the right of children to be educated at school. Her work eventually led to the formation of the Rathbone Society in 1969, now incorporated into the Rathbone charity Rathbone charity.
