8. History of Special Education
in the States
• In America during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, many individuals
began to realize the importance of public education for the disabled individual.
• Special schools and special classes for children with disabilities, especially deafness,
blindness, and mental retardation did exist in 19th century America but gradually
increased during the 20th century.
• During the 1800s in America, deviant children were considered handicapped, retarded,
incorrigible, truant, socially maladjusted, and their basic actions were in conflict with
the law, whether considered either dangerous, violent, or harmless and/or mild in nature.
• It is reported that there were more than two million defective individuals in the United
States during the 1800s, and as a result of their “diseased or weak minds they (were) in
society making criminals.”
• Today, the deviant learning handicapped student is educated within public community
schools and specially placed in special need classrooms (McQuin, 2006).

9. History of Special Education
in the States
• Latin America - Before 1978, little action was taken to educate children
with disabilities in Columbia. Children would be left home without much
interaction with the outside world. In 1985, special education was
researched across the country and education programs were created.
After 1990, people with disabilities were given access to public school
classes.[The increase in advocation for accessibility for children with
disabilities was initiated by the awareness and recognition of the rights
of this group of children to education. While there has been improvement
over recent years, there is still slow development for special education
programs and special education policy.

10. • History of Special Education in Colombia
• Statistics from DANE (Departamento Administrativo Na-cional de Estadística) state that
there are 2,624,898 disabled people who reside in Colombia, representing 6.3% of the
country's population. According to 2010 research 90% of disabled students in Colombia no not
attend a mainstream school, and only 26% of them are able to attend school at all.
• The history of special education in Colombia can be categorized into three time periods: the
period of neglect, the period of diagnosis and planning, and the emergence of special
education. The period of planning ran from the years 1978 to the year 1990.
• The Ministry of Colombia in 1995 implemented a national plan for the development of special
education called "Plan Nacional para el Desarrollo de la Education Especial". The purposes of
the plan was to create a national diagnosis of special education and to initiate programs for
individuals with disabilities. In 1994, the Ministry of education put the first law into action to
introduce special classes in public schools that include students with disabilities, called Law
115.
• In 2011, Colombia entered into the Convention of Rights of Persons with Disabilities, an
agreement among the United Nations Education Scientific and Culture Organization
(UNESCO)to protect people who live with disabilities.
• The most recent development of special education in Colombia was Article 11 of Law 1618,
which was passed in 2013. The law states that "the Ministry of Education will define the policy
and regulate the scheme of education for persons with special educational needs, promoting
educational access and quality under a system based on inclusion in the educational services".
The Colombian government has also made financial strides into special education, investing
over $12.3 million in 2015.
