V-Read the passage, then answer the questions: (2pts)
In Australia, schools for disabled children were begun in the late 1800s by charitable organisations. The
government began to provide special schools from the 1920s, but until the 1980s, a system for educating all children,
no matter what their disability, was taken on as a government responsibility. Newcastle and Macquarie Universities
were two universities which have promoted Early Childhood Intervention from the 1970s until today. Special
Education teachers are still trained at those universities. In 1996, a report by David McRae, found that the way
children with disabilities had changed very little over the years. He proposed government funding be tied to the
children rather than the setting in order to encourage more Special Education.
