What is Special Needs Education?
Special Education is "specially" designed instruction to meet the unique needs and abilities of exceptional students.
Special Education is relatively new. Historically, people with disabilities were
often placed in hospitals, asylums, or other institutions that provided little, if any, education.
Greek et Roman
Era of Extermination
Disability is a "punishment of the gods" ? A bad or evil sign
"Individual is what he is, now and forever"
Plato & Aristotle call for infanticide
Ciceron calls for the purity of the race, a society free of "defectives" ?Need for military superiority
Therefore, someone with a disability resulting from war (soldiers) is taken in charge by the City.
Greek & Roman
Consequences of Philosophy:
Chaining - Left on hills to die - Thrown off cliffs - Locked away ? Drown
Father had right to terminate child's life
Deaf, blind & Ill children had little more chance.
Old Testament
? God created man in his own image ? !!!
Disability is an impurity.
A disabled person cannot approach sacred places
New Testament
Jesus helps disabled persons (ex: blind miracle)
Disability is less a fault or an evil sign
Need of assistance, help
Help them is an occasion for "winning ones salvation"
