The History of Special Education

I made a timeline about the history of special education.

Special education today is still struggling in the public eye. It can still be considered "taboo" to talk about children with special needs. This definitely presents a challenge for children in education. If children don't have supportive parents, it is hard for them to get support in their education. I can relate to this by having been diagnosed with A.D.D. in college. I had to take the initiative to get evaluated myself because of the lack of support or belief at home. Finding out that I have this disability, helped my family to realize the support I needed in order to succeed. I find that in the school systems that I have worked, students get as much help as they need. I have worked with supportive teachers who try to help their students as much as possible.
