This programme shows the methods being used to teach deaf and blind in Zagorsk. One former pupil, Natasha, went on to university and is now a practising child psychologist, wife and mother. For children with learning difficulties, a few remarkable teachers are opening new doors. By refusing to accept conventional boundaries of learning and developing new formulas for stretching and challenging their pupils, they are beginning to transform young lives. From Russia, Israel and the USA, these films report on three visionaries whose inspiration could change the face of education around the world. An educational programme made to inspire other teachers, or those studying to become teachers, to find a way to assist their students with learning disabilities.
