📌Today we're throwing it back to the history and origins of special education, as far back as the 18th Century, following the American and French Revolutions when effective procedures were devised for teaching children with sensory impairments.
📌Early in the 19th Century, the first systematic attempts were made to educate so called "idiotic" and "insane" children (those who today are said to have intellectual disabilities and emotional or behavioural disorders). As a special educator, I remain thankful for so much progress that has been made over time.
📌If you are considering entering the field of special education, you are taking advantage of an opportunity not afforded to people in previous generations. So let's learn from special education history and make progress into a brighter future for individuals with special needs.
