Details
Maren Sofie Madsen (30 December 1897, Meløse—9 February 1982, Roskilde) was a Danish teacher and school principal who is remembered for her pioneering work with autistic children. After succeeding in improving contact with a few children considered to be difficult, by the mid-1920s she was able to care for six children in a dedicated school building near Roskilde. In 1941, she acquired larger premises for what in 1947 was recognized as an independent institution known as Himmelev Bornehjem (Himmelev Children's Home). By 1967 when she turned 70, the school had provided an education for 300 children who were able to lead normal lives. In 1961, her efforts were recognized by the Landsforeningen for Mentalhygiejne (Mental Hygiene Association) who awarded her their Antonius Prize. In 1956, Madsen published Hvad børnene lærte mig (What the Children Taught Me) followed by two other works documenting her experiences.
