SPED 3000 Week 1

The first chapter of this book talks about the beginnings of special education and the reforms that have came about since. I have studied special education before and I have experience with children with special needs. However, this chapter opened my eyes up even more to the progress that special education has made in America. I feel sympathy for the students that were barred from school and the teachers that wished to see change and did not know where to begin. I am glad that the reforms began and that America is well on its way to reaching as many kids as possible. I know that there could still be improvements but things today are much better than they were 30 years ago.
