This paper recalls the history of the Special Education Work Group (WG) of ANPEd (National Association of Post-Graduation and Research), from its conception in 1991 to 2010. Firstly, the text highlights the background that led to its creation after serving three years as a Study Group, and the major activities performed during the first five years of the new WG as an expression of undoubted integration of special education to the structure of ANPEd . Finally, the paper analyses the development and consolidation of the group by describing the scientific production presented in the Annual Meetings of ANPEd , divided into two periods - from 1991 to 2001 and from 2002 to 2010.
