Special Education Has Changed Over Time
Special education has been assisting students with learning disabilities in the United States education system since the end of World War II. The first push for special education started when a group of parent-organized advocacy groups surfaced. In 1947 one of the first organizations, the American Association on Mental Deficiency, held its first convention. That marked a starting point for special education as we know it today.
Started during the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1950s, the United Cerebral Palsy Association, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and John F. Kennedy’s Panel on Mental Retardation were among an increased amount of advocacy groups for assisted learning programs. This strong push helped bring special education into schools across the country in the 1960’s as school access was established for children with disabilities at state and local levels.

Life after home schooling, now what? Well, if you have spent all the years home schooling your children through high school and now they are off to college, you might just be facing a variety of thoughts.
Remember the days when all you could get done, was to slip breakfast on the table, clear it, do dishes, set up school work and rush into your schooling? Well they are long gone, now!
These are the days we talked about, when so fast the time would fly that you would feel as though you had had no time at all to build into these loved ones, the principles you want for them to hold dear!
