ESCUDERO, Jaime Caiceo. Special Education in Chile: From its own system to an integrated one. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.22, e174.  Epub 07-Ago-2023. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v22-2023-174.

Special Education in Chile has a long history since 1852. This work aims to compare and analyze the situation of the development of special education from its foundation until 2015, a period in which the action, both of the State and of the individuals involved in education, was focused on creating 'special schools' for the different special educational needs -SEN-, whether permanent or transitory, in the face of the new situation that the Chilean state establishes from the dictation of Law No. 20.845 ( 2015), which states that all educational establishments financed by the state -92% of them, both public and private- must receive in their classrooms, students without special educational needs and those who have it too; this has meant the closure of many 'special schools' that served only pupils with SEN. The methodology is analytical, comparative and historical; legal sources will be primary and secondary, with documentary analysis as the main instrument, in order to analyze and compare the past and present situation of it.

Palabras clave : Special needs education; Learning disabilities; Inclusive education; Disabled children; Dyslexia.
