3. According to KIRK & GALLAGHER ( 1986 ): “When youngsters in the same class room are remarkably different, it is difficult for the teacher to help them reach their educational potential without some kind of assistance. The help that the schools devise for children who differ significantly from the norm is called special education” According to YSSELDYKE & ALGOZZINE ( 1990 ): “Special education is the instruction designed for students with special learning needs. Some of these have difficulty in the regular classrooms; they need special education to function in school. Others generally do well in regular classrooms; they need special education to help them master addition skills to reach their full potential in short. Special education is evidence of society’s willingness to recognize and respond to the individual needs of student and the limits of special school programmers to accommodate these needs” 10/14/2014 copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com 3 DEFINITATION

14. HISTORY OF SPECIAL EDUCATION We can say history is the description of the person, institution & societies in terms of their existence from the earliest to the latest. When we talk about the history of special education, we must have its description in terms of growth & development of the ways & means of its delivery, objective sets & the system of schooling. The term special or exceptional children does not exist in our historical past. The description related to the history of special education in the text is covered by the history of the case & provision made by the society & states for the various types of disabilities found in human beings. Therefore history of special education is the mesh up of two, one deals with educational & institutional arrangements first formally established in the eighteenth century, the other with the people who have present in the society since the beginnings. 10/14/2014 copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com 14
