The current state of special education in Europe must take account of
two central developments: changes in the conceptual landscape of
special education, and the emergence of national educational reform
movements, and their dominance in framing educational debate. Besides
to these developments, this article also focuses on four particular
topics relating to special education in Europe, namely legislation and
its impact on changes in special education; integration of children
with special education needs into mainstream education; the emerging
role of the special school; and research in special education. Seamus Hegarty
Key words: Special Education, Integration, Special Schools, Handicapped Children, Special Education Needs, Educational Research.
