The Journey of Special Needs Education in Ethiopia: An overview

Abstract

The purpose of this review is to map out the journey of special needs education in Ethiopia. This journey is from mountainous churches where students used to attend theology scattering under trees and small huts to fenced and relatively favorable classrooms. By that professionals in the field of special needs will have the opportunity to know how the delivery of special education for persons with disabilities was associated with early Christianity and compare the historical development of special needs education between Europe and ancient Ethiopia.
