CHAPTER 2 Historical,

Philosophical, Theoretical, and


Legal Foundation of Special and
Inclusive Education.
√ Special education, in which the unique needs and
abilities of learners are considered by designing
specialized instructions; and inclusive education, in
which the educational system caters for all learners
with diverse needs, abilities, and characteristics can
be considered relatively new.

4 Perspective on educability
in the Early Beginnings of
Special Education.
Era of Extermination
√ During the Greek and Roman Era, people held such
negative views about disability that it was regarded as a
punishment from God, something that signifies being bad
or evil.
√ Coupled with the need for military superiority, individuals
with disability were labelled as "defectives" that need to
be eliminated from the society.
√ Thus it was not surprising that there were calls for
infanticide or that a father had the right to terminate their
child's life if he or she happened to be born with a
disability.
Era of Ridicule
√ During the Middle Ages, people lived in rigid caste
systems that discrimination of individuals who were
different from the majority in the society became
apparent.
√ Persons with disability were treated with ridicule in
which they were used as servants or fools: they were
used as clowns, they were mocked for their deformities
and behavior; or may even be ordered to be put to death.
Era of Asylum
√ During the Renaissance Period, the Catholic Church
began accepting persons with disabilities as wards of
state.
√ This was the start of the humane treatment given to
them. They were taken cared for, albeit in isolation.
√ However, the belief that once disabled, always
disabled rendered these individuals as uneducable.
Perspectives on Educability in the
Early Beginnings of Special
Education.
√ Whereas being taken cared for can be considered as
humane treatment for persons with disability, a different
perspective stipulates that without education, there is no
humanity.
√ Thus, to reinforce equal treatment among all humans, one
should have the right to education regardless of his or her
disability.
√ This led some individuals to device ways to deliver
education to those with disabilities, and thus, the start of
the development of special and inclusive education.

or limit their opportunities for growth and
success.
