- Abstract
This paper addresses the evolution and features of special education of the two sides across the Taiwan Strait. The common challenges and future perspectives are also discussed. In the process of modernization, Taiwan appears more advanced in terms of providing a variety of special education services to children with disabilities and giftedness than Mainland China. Under the policy of “moving toward inclusion with multi-placement practices” for years, special education in Taiwan is characterized as integrative and inclusive in placement. On the other hand, special education program in Mainland China is relatively weak with limited services provided to children with certain categories of disabilities. However, the government has been taking many steps to promote special education in recent years. As a result, a China-featured model has been emerged which could be characterized as a combination of special school (served as main framework), learning in regular class (as major approach, aiming toward inclusion), and special class as well as home-based teaching (as supplementary practice). Both Mainland China and Taiwan share same goals and challenges of promoting special education in quantity and quality, and are in the historical transition stage. It is suggested that a joint effort in regard to policy making, program design, and support system of the two sides across the Taiwan Strait be made for a bright future of special education.
