Reformas, relatos de vida e identidades profesionales en educación especial: una aproximación a partir de las voces de educadores especiales en Medellín (Colombia), 1965-2002. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.03, pp.325-340. ISSN 1413-6538.

The article presents the results of a narrative biographical study on the connections, relationships and crosslinks between life stories of special teachers and educational special education reform process carried out in a city of Colombia. The paper first  acknowledges the history of special education in Colombia and Latin America, while pointing out the lack of research on the voices and experiences of special educators in recent times, which corresponds with what is found in current studies. Next, partial results are presented: the analysis of special teacher professional identities and some reflections to enable us to think about special/differential educators in Latin America.

Palabras clave : Special Education; Biographical Narrative Research; Professional Identity; History of Special Education.
