3. History of Special Education


The history of special education includes periods of exclusion, inclusion, and
empowerment.

Exclusion and isolation


 Before the 18th century, people with disabilities were often thought to be
cursed, possessed by evil powers, or stupid.

Access and inclusion


 During the civil rights era, parents and advocates fought for rights for people
with disabilities.

Accountability and empowerment


 Today, people with disabilities are working to redefine their identity in society.

Key events in the history of special education


 18th century
Jean Jacques Rousseau's book Emile influenced ideas about education,
including teaching children at their own pace. Charles Michel L'Epeé
founded the first public school for people with disabilities in France in
1760.
 1973
The Rehabilitation Act guaranteed civil rights for people with disabilities
and required schools to accommodate them.
 1975
The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) guaranteed free,
appropriate education for children with disabilities.
 1997
The EHA was reauthorized and became the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA). IDEA emphasized the use of individual education
plans (IEPs).
Special education is designed to help people learn who need additional support and
adaptive methods to participate in school.

Special education (SPED) in the Philippines began in 1902 when Fred Atkinson, the
General Superintendent of Education, proposed educating children with disabilities.
Here are some key milestones in the history of SPED in the Philippines:

 1907: The Insular School for the Deaf and Blind was established in Pasay City,
Metro Manila by American educator Delia Delight Rice.
 1926: The Philippine Association for the Deaf was established.
 1927: The Welfareville Children's Village was established in Mandaluyong for
people with mental retardation.
 1945: The National Orthopedic Hospital School for the Crippled Children and Youth
was established.
 1956: The first school for the deaf opened in Samar.
 1992: The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons was passed to promote the rights of
people with disabilities.

SPED is a specially designed instruction that focuses on the individual needs of a child
rather than a standard curriculum. The goal of SPED is to integrate learners with special
needs into regular education by helping them develop skills.

The Philippines has 133 SPED Centers throughout the country. The policy of inclusion is
also instituted in all early and basic education schools, both public and private.
