There are four standpoints about special education by Heward (2003)
.
- Special education is a legislatively governed enterprises
- Special educations is a part of the country’s educational system
- Special education is teaching children with special needs in the least restrictive environment
This point of view is expressed in the legal bases of special education that are discussed in the Philippine Constitution of 1987, Chapter1, Article lV, Section 1 states that the State shall protect and promote the rights of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education available to all. The State shall provide adult citizens, the disabled and out-of-school youth with training in civics, vocational efficiency and other skills. The State shall adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health and other social services available to all people at affordable costs. There shall be priority to the needs of the underprivileged, the sick, the elderly, the disabled, women and children.
