Abstract:
Preparing teachers for special education in the United States is a reflection that is not merely another attempt to reinvent the wheel. Rather, it is an investigation to learn from the past, use applications today in order to secure concrete and measurable goals in the diversified future of special education in America. Several historical figures became the voice of individuals with disabilities when persons with disabilities were sequestered from society in America. They are modern day heroes and will be remembered for their courageous deeds to define the individual beyond their disability. While tremendous progress has been made, active preparation is essential for the future educators that will carry the torch of freedom, which is free and appropriate education and full inclusion for all students with disabilities in America.
