다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Daegu University has enjoyed a long and remarkable history of special education. Daegu University is large University located in Daegu, South Korea, a large city in South Korea that is south of Seoul. Since the 1970`s, South Korea has achieved unusual and comprehensive growth in its economy, and the field of special education continued to thrive as well. While the Korean government was taking a leading role in the economic growth of South Korea, the special education of children with disabilities was mostly led by private sectors. A detailed and comprehensive history of Special Education at Daegu University appears in two websites. (In Korean, the website is www. deagu.ac.kr. In English, the website is http://eng.daegu.ac.kr). We were not able to include all of this extensive history in this article of the Journal. Instead, this brief article highlights only some of the key events. This article describes: (1) the history of special education at Daegu University in South Korea; (2) the influence of special education at Daegu University on the development of special education throughout South Korea; (3) development of a post-secondary program in cooperation with the PACE program at National Louis University in the United States.
