Joibari, A. A. K. Perspectives on inclusive education in the Islamic Republic of Iran. "Inclusion is not a privilege we are going to give to the disabled, but it is the natural consequence of a humane society." The educational rights of children with disabilities have first been recognized in the educational system of Iran 80 years ago, when formal education was provided for the blind children. Following it, ie, 10 years later, the same was done for the deaf children. At first, these provisions were provided and supported by voluntary and nongovernmental groups and organizations. This was the case for the following years until 1968 when the government took legal steps in acknowledging the educational rights of the disabled children and to establish educational provisions for them officially.

Saeedi, A. (2006, May 11). Focus on policy: Iran. Special education in Iran started in 1920 with a charity school for blind children in Tabriz. Three years later, private deaf education was introduced by an Iranian teacher. In 1968 formal special education was established by the Bureau of Education for Exceptional Children and Students, within the Ministry of Education. After the Islamic revolution (1979) special education widened considerably. In 1990 the Special Education Organization (SEO) was established. Inclusive education was introduced when it became clear that segregated special education was not reaching enough students.
