- 0:22let's start today's topic will have
- 0:25three
- 0:25main objectives and these are to trace
- 0:29the history and movements of special
- 0:30education specifically in the
- 0:32philippines
- 0:33create a timeline for the history of
- 0:35sped emphasizing the significant events
- 0:37and contributors
- 0:39and advocate the importance of special
- 0:41education in the philippines

- 0:46your main activity this will be timeline
- 0:48making
- 0:50now i want you to check this one in your
- 0:51module and if you're done you may review

- 0:56our assessment tool
- 0:58the resource for this topic is on deck's
- 1:00special education division
- 1:021999 handbook and inclusive education
- 1:07now before we'll proceed with a history
- 1:09in tracing the history of sped in
- 1:11ie let us first have a short definition
- 1:14of the two main concepts we have in our
- 1:16subject
- 1:17the inclusive education was already
- 1:19introduced to you last time that special
- 1:21education
- 1:22was not yet shared so special education
- 1:26is the practice of providing
- 1:27individualized instruction
- 1:29and support to students with
- 1:31disabilities or learning difficulties
- 1:34and inclusive education on the other
- 1:36hand is the practice of educating
- 1:38students
- 1:39with disabilities alongside their peers
- 1:42without disabilities in the same
- 1:43classroom
- 1:44it is meant for all learners so we
- 1:46already know the difference of these two
- 1:48right
- 1:49when we talk about special education
- 1:51this emphasizes
- 1:53the catering or an individualized
- 1:56instruction and support for learners
- 1:58with disabilities
- 2:00however for the inclusive education not
- 2:02only the learners with disabilities
- 2:04but also the regular learners so they
- 2:06are actually mainstreamed in a regular
- 2:09setting now why are these two
- 2:13concepts related let us
- 2:16i want you to check this concept map
- 2:18here is a mind map or concept map
- 2:21that attempts to convey how we can view
- 2:24relationship between special education
- 2:26and inclusive education
- 2:28so since i already shared to you the
- 2:30principles of
- 2:31inclusive education in our first topic
- 2:35we will have the relationship of the two
- 2:38how
- 2:38is inclusive education helpful
- 2:42in the attainment of the needs of the
- 2:45learners in a special class
- 2:47so so far special education has existed
- 2:51without inclusive classroom practice
- 2:53these are commonly observed
- 2:56in the philippines we have a lot of
- 2:58special centers
- 3:00but none of these or very few only very
- 3:03few of the special centers
- 3:05are actually part of the inclusive
- 3:07setting set up
- 3:09so due to this oftentimes the
- 3:11responsibility of educating students
- 3:13with disabilities
- 3:14falls on the special educators not to
- 3:17the regular
- 3:18teachers because as i mentioned they are
- 3:21under the
- 3:22tutelage of the special education
- 3:24centers this
- 3:25results in students spending a lot of
- 3:27their school
- 3:28day school day outside the mainstream
- 3:30classroom
- 3:32in a small group setting so since they
- 3:34are not mainstream
- 3:36their uh their environment is limited
- 3:39only
- 3:40to those learners who also have
- 3:43disabilities
- 3:44just like them so diba you remember our
- 3:47our principal in the inclusive classroom
- 3:51or in inclusive society
- 3:53in the aspect of education we introduce
- 3:55the lre
- 3:57to our learners with disabilities that
- 3:59means
- 4:00the least restrictive classroom which is
- 4:03open to everyone so while this may be
- 4:06helpful in schools with teachers or the
- 4:09inclu the exclusive classroom for
- 4:13learners with disabilities are helpful
- 4:16helpful in schools where teachers or
- 4:18classrooms are not equipped to meet the
- 4:20needs of all
- 4:21this goes against the idea of inclusion
- 4:24this means
- 4:24we when we segregate students with
- 4:26disabilities that we do not provide them
- 4:29with the education they deserve within
- 4:30the classroom
- 4:32and it's it it's a kind of unfair thing
- 4:35that they do not experience
- 4:36the same experience that regular
- 4:39students are actually
- 4:41experiencing so it also may give
- 4:44deprivation or
- 4:45we may also deprive them for a
- 4:48repeatable quality education
- 4:50and social integration so
- 4:54while these two special education
- 4:56inclusive education
- 4:58are distinct practices that may exist by
- 5:01themselves
- 5:02each practice is actually stronger and
- 5:04more effective than these
- 5:06both of them coexist um
- 5:09last time right i mentioned to you that
- 5:12if the child
- 5:14if in if an inclusive classroom class
- 5:17if a child is ready to be mainstreamed
- 5:20then
- 5:20he can be mainstream in society however
- 5:23the mainstreaming
- 5:24may not be permanent depending on the
- 5:27need of
- 5:28the child with disability
- 5:32now let us start tracing back the
- 5:34history of sped
- 5:36so the history of sped and ie can be
- 5:38traced back
- 5:39during the great period or era until now
- 5:42in the 21st century
- 5:44now i'll be sharing to you first the
- 5:46world history then we will be down to
- 5:48the philippine history okay the great
- 5:51and roman period was known as the era
- 5:53it's the first um known history of sped
- 5:58which has become the era of
- 5:59extermination what's
- 6:01why it has become an era of
- 6:02extermination because this ability
- 6:05during this period is viewed as
- 6:07a punishment of the gods so they are
- 6:10considered as a bad or an evil sign
- 6:13or bad omen and they believe that an
- 6:16individual
- 6:17who is what he is now and forever so an
- 6:20individual though is what he is now and
- 6:22forever
- 6:23he can't be changed he can't be cured
- 6:26because
- 6:26he is in in he is a bad sign or
- 6:30an evil sign that receives the karma
- 6:34from the gods so there is the greek
- 6:36philosophers like plato and aristotle
- 6:38call for in
- 6:39infanticide so this means that whenever
- 6:42there was an infant
- 6:44born with disabilities she or he is not
- 6:47worthy to be born and have to be
- 6:48eradicated from the society
- 6:51and the philosopher cheryl cicero calls
- 6:54for the purity of the race
- 6:56which is a society free of defectives
- 6:59during this era class the need for
- 7:02military superiority is paramount so
- 7:04we know that during this time um
- 7:08what's in trend are is war war between
- 7:11one group to another
- 7:12so when someone was disabled because of
- 7:15war
- 7:16and is taken in the char in church which
- 7:19is taken in charge by the city
- 7:21the consequence or during this period
- 7:23the consequence during this period
- 7:26uh with which individuals with
- 7:28disabilities were chained
- 7:30left on heels to die throw off cliffs
- 7:33locked away or are drowned so they do
- 7:36not actually
- 7:37um what is that keep the sacred body of
- 7:41an individual
- 7:42once they are no longer worthy to be
- 7:44alive
- 7:45because for them they're no longer
- 7:47helpful they could be bad sign and they
- 7:50will be
- 7:50disabled forever so the father had the
- 7:53right to terminate child's life
- 7:56the deaf the blind and sick children
- 7:58have little or no more chance of living
- 8:01you see how brutal the people are in the
- 8:04time of the greek and roman period
- 8:07they don't give chances to people who
- 8:10are deaf and blind and biblically
- 8:12speaking in the old testament
- 8:14it is stated that god created man in his
- 8:17own image and likeness this is what i
- 8:19mentioned a while ago about philosopher
- 8:21cicero
- 8:21who calls for purity of the race which
- 8:24is called uh society free of defectives
- 8:27this implies that having a disability is
- 8:31a symbol of
- 8:32impurity so if you are disabled whether
- 8:35it's
- 8:36um because of war or biologically
- 8:39inherited
- 8:41you are actually considered as an impure
- 8:44individual
- 8:46during the medieval times or the middle
- 8:48age it is now called the era of ridicule
- 8:51or humiliation
- 8:53so the medieval time are those with
- 8:56during the medieval time those with
- 8:57disabilities were
- 8:58used as servants or fools some were
- 9:01still put to death
- 9:03and dwarves were even used as clowns
- 9:06and overall really killed for
- 9:07deformities and behavior
- 9:10so this uh it is a time for rigid case
- 9:12system also
- 9:13um i know if i don't know if you're
- 9:15familiar with the case system
- 9:17this um this presents idea that
- 9:22if you are poor if you are defective
- 9:25then you are outcasted in the community
- 9:27you are actually excluded in the
- 9:29community
- 9:30so there is very high manifestation of
- 9:34exclusion during the medieval
- 9:36period for the renaissance the
- 9:38renaissance time was the era of the
- 9:40asylum
- 9:41it was during this time that the
- 9:43catholic church accepted those with
- 9:45disabilities as swords of state
- 9:47so slowly people are becoming aware
- 9:51of what a disability mean and
- 9:54how do they need to be um assisted
- 9:58or taken cared of and these
- 10:01disabled individuals or individuals with
- 10:03deformities are cared for in its in
- 10:05isolation
- 10:07there was no education at first but
- 10:09human treatment was already done
- 10:11so their belief still once disabled
- 10:15always disabled but can still be seen
- 10:18and can which can still be seen in the p
- 10:20in this period although
- 10:22it has already um developed
- 10:25their awareness was already developed
- 10:27because of the movement of
- 10:29the action of jesus christ behind the
- 10:31bible
- 10:32where he took care of the sea
- 10:36healed them or treated them and
- 10:40informed people that they should not be
- 10:42someone whom we can be afraid of
- 10:44because they are also human
- 10:48now after the renaissance is the period
- 10:50of educability which emphasizes the
- 10:52philosophy that
- 10:54without education there is no humanity
- 10:58it's also the time after those periods
- 11:00of renaissance medieval
- 11:02and um greek
- 11:05um here comes in the idea of
- 11:09inclusion now before we'll have
- 11:12um deeper understanding and inclusion
- 11:16and the history of inclusion how did it
- 11:18come about in
- 11:19its history from sped down to
- 11:22inclusivity
- 11:23let us know first some of the
- 11:25contributors of
- 11:27special needs educator or special
- 11:28education who really advocated the idea
- 11:31of helping
- 11:32people with special needs so some of
- 11:34these experiences with
- 11:35were with pedro ponce de leon from spain
- 11:39who created the first documented
- 11:40experience about education for the deaf
- 11:42children
- 11:43so he actually um served as an educator
- 11:46for the church
- 11:47for these children who cannot hear
- 11:51we also have abby charles michelle dop
- 11:53from paris who created the institute for
- 11:56swords or the institute for the deaf and
- 11:59then we have louise braille who invented
- 12:01the braille script
- 12:03braille script class is actually used by
- 12:05blind people
- 12:08this is their way of understanding or
- 12:10knowing how to read
- 12:12and recognizing letters of the alphabet
- 12:15later on we will have more discussion on
- 12:17braille system by louise braille if we
- 12:20will be
- 12:21in the topic already of
- 12:24different difficulties especially the
- 12:26difficulty in seeing
- 12:31then came the pioneers of sped so that
- 12:34is why they are known as pioneers
- 12:35because they were the first contributors
- 12:37in special
- 12:38education so they advocated teaching and
- 12:41helping learners with
- 12:42special needs so we have number one john
- 12:45mark despard itard
- 12:47itard is a french physician and educator
- 12:49who was one of the first earliest
- 12:51teachers to argue that special teaching
- 12:53methods
- 12:54could be effective in educating disabled
- 12:56children
- 12:57so in between 1801 and 1805 itard used
- 13:01systematic techniques to teach a boy
- 13:03named victor
- 13:04he taught him how to communicate with
- 13:06others and how to perform daily living
- 13:08skills such as dressing himself
- 13:10now today ethard is recognized as one of
- 13:13the founding fathers of special
- 13:14education
- 13:15he became the first person to develop a
- 13:18student-centered approach within
- 13:20his curriculum that emphasized
- 13:21individual child the individual child
- 13:24later on we will be discussing about
- 13:26individual educational program which is
- 13:28actually
- 13:29which came from the idea of etard on a
- 13:32student-centered approach for an
- 13:33individual
- 13:34child having special needs so his work
- 13:36with victor
- 13:38who is known as the wild boy of alveron
- 13:40earned it
- 13:41an international reputation
- 13:44we also have edward sagin edward sagin
- 13:47is a french psychologist
- 13:49who had studied with ethard immigrated
- 13:52to the united states and developed
- 13:53several
- 13:54influential guidelines for educating
- 13:56children with special needs so he
- 13:59this is particularly on children with
- 14:01mental retardation
- 14:03so seconds education programs stress the
- 14:06importance of developing independence
- 14:08and self-reliance
- 14:09in displays in disabled students by
- 14:12presenting them
- 14:13with a combination of physical and
- 14:16intellectual tasks
- 14:19we also have maria montessori
- 14:21montessori's education is a flow of
- 14:24experience that builds on the continuing
- 14:26self-construction of the child in their
- 14:28daily
- 14:29weekly year and yearly for the duration
- 14:32of the program
- 14:33so our schools are divided into
- 14:35multi-age classrooms
- 14:37which compose of the first the parent
- 14:39and infant this is age
- 14:410-3 and then preschool age three to six
- 14:44and lower and upper elementary
- 14:46age six to nine and nine to twelve then
- 14:48we have the middle school
- 14:49age twelve to fourteen so the prepared
- 14:53environments
- 14:54introduce an interrupted series of
- 14:56learning passages which is a continuum
- 14:58in a continual manner
- 14:59this does not happen only in one setting
- 15:02or in one month
- 15:03this continues as soon as as long as a
- 15:07child
- 15:08is willing and is still in the
- 15:12in the state of learning so the prepared
- 15:14environment
- 15:16by maria as maria's concept
- 15:20is the environment that can be designed
- 15:22to facilitate maximum independent
- 15:24learning and exploration by the child so
- 15:27in a shorter um this description or
- 15:30explanation
- 15:31her way or according to maria that
- 15:34children should learn or regardless of
- 15:36their ability
- 15:38they should learn through exploration
- 15:41they should learn through experience
- 15:43like they learn inside the classroom
- 15:46in a set up mariama disorder is set up
- 15:49wherein they they develop their basic
- 15:53skills at the same time
- 15:54learn other skills so common practices
- 15:57common um activities that are done in
- 16:00the schools
- 16:02especially for the children preschools
- 16:04we have like
- 16:05tying of shoes and bottling and then
- 16:08buttoning of shirts
- 16:10and then holding of spoon and fork so
- 16:12those are very basic skills but they are
- 16:14the foundation for learning
- 16:16that's montessori's idea of learning so
- 16:20she actually prepares children in an
- 16:22environment
- 16:23where and they will be prepared on what
- 16:26uh on what the real things are happening
- 16:28in the real
- 16:29in their real life okay so we also have
- 16:33ovida de crowley
- 16:34according to dr crowley the school will
- 16:37be located wherever is the nature
- 16:39wherever life is wherever the work is
- 16:42and wherever the work is
- 16:43so in 1901 the crowley founded a school
- 16:46for children with mild
- 16:47disabilities particularly on behavioral
- 16:50disorders learning disabilities
- 16:52and light mental retardation the crowley
- 16:55gradually invented his pedagogy
- 16:58in teaching children with special needs
- 17:01and in 1907
- 17:03he founded a school for ordinary
- 17:05children with the same pedagogy so he
- 17:07does not only
- 17:09focus on children with special needs but
- 17:11also those
- 17:12children who are actually ordinary or
- 17:15regular children
- 17:17but needs to also experience real life
- 17:19experiences
- 17:21and whatever is
- 17:24most important in learning or in
- 17:27learning development
- 17:30so in the last century in the 1900s
- 17:34biological emphasis to medical model
- 17:36then to institutional care were observed
- 17:39starting from the era the earliest era
- 17:42down to the to the latest or to the
- 17:45known contributors different
- 17:49emphasis on um education special
- 17:52education
- 17:53where were presented and
- 17:56although there are different
- 17:58presentations or there are different
- 17:59experiences in special education develop
- 18:01in the development of special education
- 18:04the goal is for people to be aware
- 18:07on on the society that there are certain
- 18:12people
- 18:12who really have special needs so from
- 18:151900 to 1950s there was compulsory
- 18:18education
- 18:19so the creation of classes or schools
- 18:21fundamentally
- 18:23blind death etc were also implemented
- 18:26after the second world war the creation
- 18:28of special
- 18:29education system was organized in
- 18:32parallel to ordinary
- 18:34system this now came the idea of
- 18:38inclusive education before
- 18:41when uh the idea is still segregated
- 18:44where
- 18:45learners with specialists or people with
- 18:47special need needs are segregated in one
- 18:49area or in
- 18:50one set up now we are opening
- 18:53uh the environment or the community is
- 18:56now
- 18:57slow uh opening to an idea that
- 19:00these people with special needs can be
- 19:03part of
- 19:04the society where learners or where
- 19:07people who are regular
- 19:08are in so to sum up there are four
- 19:13periods of special needs education
- 19:15number one the instruction for pupils
- 19:18with sensory disabilities
- 19:20many disabled children were excluded
- 19:22from school number two
- 19:23the care for the disabled the medical
- 19:25care and rehabilitation
- 19:27children are segregated into homogeneous
- 19:30groups and number three
- 19:31the principle of normalization and
- 19:33integration and then number four
- 19:35we have the educa educational equality
- 19:38and equal educational services or the
- 19:41inclusion
- 19:42so we know that inclusive education is
- 19:45now widely accepted
- 19:47with its pedagogical and policy
- 19:49principle
- 19:50but the history has been long
- 19:54and it's difficult starting from the
- 19:56time where people are still ridiculed
- 19:59humiliated and even excluded in the
- 20:02community
- 20:03until in the time of awareness and
- 20:06advocacy or initiative with the
- 20:10different contributors or people
- 20:12who gave their passion or their advocacy
- 20:15advocate
- 20:16advocacy to learners or to people with
- 20:18special needs
- 20:20so this time um i discussed to you a
- 20:23while ahead the idea of inclusive
- 20:25education because
- 20:27i would want you to understand its
- 20:28principle in order for us to truly know
- 20:32why it's very important how important it
- 20:35is in the attainment of the goal of
- 20:38special education
- 20:39which is independence of learners with
- 20:41special needs in the society
- 20:45now let us proceed to the history of
- 20:47spain in the philippines
- 20:49spent in the philippines started in
- 20:521900s during the american colonization
- 20:54in the country
- 20:55the growth of special education in the
- 20:58philippines
- 20:59has been given a relatively good support
- 21:01of these years
- 21:02both by the government non-government
- 21:04organizations and stakeholders in
- 21:06response to the needs and challenges of
- 21:08the times
- 21:09the level of awareness of both the
- 21:11government and the private sector in
- 21:13providing equal opportunities to
- 21:15children with special needs
- 21:16have considerably increased one positive
- 21:19development in special education
- 21:22is the implementation of republic act
- 21:2470-77
- 21:25or otherwise known as the magna carta
- 21:27for disabled persons
- 21:29it's an act providing for the
- 21:30rehabilitation self-development and

- 28:10culture
- 28:10created the special education sector
- 28:13sector or section
- 28:14for the particular subjects and services
- 28:16division
- 28:17so here in this year actually class
- 28:20there are already
- 28:22um specific subjects
- 28:25particularly for sped um education or
- 28:29special education so later on it was
- 28:31then
- 28:32um realized that there would be course
- 28:34for especially for
- 28:36sped so in 1958 the regional office of
- 28:39the american foundation
- 28:41for overseas blind or o alphob
- 28:44was opened in manila to help the deck by
- 28:48supplying consultancy services in the
- 28:50teacher preparation plan
- 28:51so with the approval of ra 3562
- 28:55this is the training of dec or
- 28:58department of education culture teachers
- 29:00scholars for blind children
- 29:02started at the philippine normal
- 29:04university
- 29:05so um teachers who were trained during
- 29:08this time are actually regular teachers
- 29:10class
- 29:11they were not actually um sped teachers
- 29:13so they were
- 29:14trained by um scholars
- 29:18and are expected to teach or accommodate
- 29:22children who are blind in the community
- 29:24especially in the pnu
- 29:28in the ra 5250 which is also related to
- 29:32ra 35
- 29:33uh the related to the previous uh
- 29:36republic act
- 29:37in 1970 the government updated the
- 29:4010-year training for teacher for
- 29:42children with behavioral problems
- 29:45which started in university of the
- 29:47philippines so this time
- 29:49um it was the
- 29:5210-year training for the teachers um in
- 29:55order to cater
- 29:56children with behavioral problems so it
- 29:59happened in the university
- 30:00of the philippines then in 1975 the
- 30:03division of manila city schools
- 30:05implemented the syllabus concept of
- 30:07special education in the philippines in
- 30:09the public elementary schools
- 30:11what is concept this means implementing
- 30:14and promoting the inclusion of children
- 30:16with disabilities with regular schools
- 30:18through the philippines so as you can
- 30:19see
- 30:23introduces already the idea of inclusion
- 30:27in which disabled children or children
- 30:30with disabilities
- 30:32are in uh are promoted are
- 30:35introduced or are encouraged to be part
- 30:39of the regular schools
- 30:41in some schools in the philippines
- 30:45then in 1980 the school for the crippled
- 30:47children at the southern island hospital
- 30:49in cebu was organized
- 30:51in 1995 it was the first national
- 30:54congress on mental retardation at the
- 30:56university of the philippines in the le
- 30:57mans quezon city
- 30:59and the first national sports summit for
- 31:00the disabled and elderly were held so
- 31:03um during this first national sports
- 31:05summit
- 31:06there were a lot of activities intended
- 31:08for the disabled
- 31:10children or the disabled individuals one
- 31:12of those very common class is the
- 31:14marathon for the crippled
- 31:17so i'll i want you to check on this in
- 31:20the internet what are some of the
- 31:22activities and
- 31:23how were these activities actually um
- 31:26um happened how did this activities
- 31:30happen in the past
- 31:32then in 1997 inclusive education was
- 31:34officially adopted by the department of
- 31:36education in the philippines
- 31:38as a viable educational alternative to
- 31:40cater to the needs of the learners
- 31:42with disabilities now we understand
- 31:46that even up until now from that year
- 31:481997 and up until now
- 31:50inclusive there was no full
- 31:52implementation yet of inclusive
- 31:53education because
- 31:55our number one um challenge is that
- 31:58the facilities and the budget of our
- 32:01country
- 32:01of the department of education however
- 32:04the idea of inclusion
- 32:06to children with different abilities and
- 32:09talents and even
- 32:10um beliefs was already
- 32:14accepted even in the year 1997
- 32:17and then in the year 1998 so it's under
- 32:20dex order number five series of 1998
- 32:23there is reclassification of regular
- 32:26teacher and principal items to special
- 32:28education teacher and special
- 32:30special school principal item so since
- 32:33um during the training in the past and
- 32:36then later on
- 32:37um courses for special education were
- 32:39already offered
- 32:40there is now there is a classification
- 32:43of regular teachers and principals
- 32:45to the special education teachers and
- 32:47special school principals items now
- 32:50i have not heard much of special school
- 32:53principal items
- 32:54but i have heard a lot already of
- 32:57schools
- 32:57offering special education courses for
- 33:01teachers who want
- 33:02four students who want to become future
- 33:05sped teachers
- 33:08then dex order number 33 series of 1999
- 33:12this is the implementation of the
- 33:13administrative order number 101
- 33:16directing the department of public works
- 33:18and highways
- 33:19or the decks and shed to provide
- 33:20architectural facilities or structural
- 33:22feature
- 33:23for disabled persons in all state
- 33:25colleges universities and other
- 33:27buildings
- 33:28later on class you will know what a
- 33:30specific law
- 33:31is actually implemented under this or
- 33:34related to this
- 33:35debit order or dex order number 33 dep
- 33:38ed formerly known as dex
- 33:39class department of education culture
- 33:42and sports
- 33:43uh you will know later on what specific
- 33:45legal foundation or legal base
- 33:48can be related to this this uh that's
- 33:50the bp 344 if you have read already your
- 33:53next module
- 33:54so this emphasizes on the provision
- 33:58of architectural facilities or any
- 34:00structural feature for disabled person
- 34:02in state colleges university and even in
- 34:05other establishments as long as its
- 34:07public
- 34:07establishments then we have the dex
- 34:10order number 11 series of 2001
- 34:12which recognizes special education
- 34:14centers in the philippines so there are
- 34:17already
- 34:18um special education centers right now
- 34:20which are
- 34:21recognized by dep ed and we have one uh
- 34:24we have already i think few
- 34:26in bukit non we have one in impasogon
- 34:29that's under jaika
- 34:31um foundation and we also have the
- 34:34welcome home foundation in sun pong i do
- 34:36not know if that's still working right
- 34:37now
- 34:38and we also have this pet center in
- 34:41um national and in mscch or the malabala
- 34:45city central school
- 34:47so there they are actually catering
- 34:49spread
- 34:50learners who are at first
- 34:53um what is that um separated in
- 34:57in special classroom and then later on
- 35:00uh mainstreamed in the regular classroom
- 35:05then in 2002 an ongoing mobile teacher
- 35:07training program by the department of
- 35:09education
- 35:10and the university of the philippines
- 35:12trained regular and special education
- 35:15teachers on how to educate children with
- 35:17special needs
- 35:18then in 2010 or the special education
- 35:21act of 2010
- 35:22this is an act establishing at least one
- 35:24special educa
- 35:26special education center for each school
- 35:28division
- 35:29and at least three special education
- 35:31centers in big schools division for
- 35:33children
- 35:34with special needs guidelines for
- 35:36government special
- 35:37financial assistance and other
- 35:39incentives and support
- 35:40now um as additional for your activity i
- 35:44would like you to search on
- 35:46sped schools or sped centers in bokidnon
- 35:51you try to ask how many or what are the
- 35:54different schools
- 35:55sped centers in valencia
- 35:58in malaya and even in the other
- 36:00municipalities so that's
- 36:02according to the special education act
- 36:04of 2010
- 36:06this should have or every
- 36:09division should have at least one sped
- 36:12center
- 36:12and in the bigger school divisions like
- 36:15we have bukit non
- 36:17um there should be at least um sped
- 36:19centers also
- 36:21that of course follows the guidelines
- 36:24from the government and financial
- 36:26assistance and other incentives and
- 36:28support should also be provided by the
- 36:30government
- 36:32okay so i think that those are all the
- 36:36um important events in the history of
- 36:39sped
- 36:40now i would like to leave you with this
- 36:42quote
- 36:43history cannot give us a program for the
- 36:46future but it can give us a fuller
- 36:47understanding of ourselves
- 36:49and of our common humanity so that we
- 36:51can better face the future this is
- 36:52according to robert penwarin
- 36:54and i know that this is part of your
- 36:56model part of the activity in your
- 36:58module
- 36:59which i won't be um sharing the
- 37:03thought my idea on this but i'll just be
- 37:05reading some of your ideas in your
- 37:06module
- 37:08so um i would like to say that
- 37:11um history of the uh of sped in the
- 37:14philippines
- 37:15have taken a long way
- 37:18in order that it can be fully
- 37:21implemented and recognized in the
- 37:23country
- 37:24however there are lapses but these
- 37:26lapses also help
- 37:28contributors and teachers and school
- 37:31leaders
- 37:33improve or evaluate more intervention
- 37:36intervention programs in order that
- 37:38sped can spend or the special education
- 37:41program
- 37:42can really keep their learners with
- 37:44special needs and at the same time
- 37:46this uh this the goals or the aims of
- 37:50special education program which is
- 37:52independent independence to
- 37:55children with special needs will be
- 37:57achieved so truly the present and the
- 37:59future waves of transformation
- 38:01brought about by the different periods
- 38:02of events in the history
- 38:04it places us the advantage of bridging
- 38:06special education of yesterday
- 38:08and special education of tomorrow so we
