Abstract
Children and youth with special needs from age two to 18 years in Taiwan receive evaluation and services from both the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Education based on the People with Disabilities Rights Protection Act (Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2007) and the Special Education Act (Ministry of Education, 2014). On the basis of the earlier two acts, those children could apply for Disability Identification to receive related services, which are provided by the local social welfare department, and could also apply for special education services provided by the local educational department if they are going to attend preschool or higher-level school (both public and private). Special education placements range widely, from inclusion in regular classes in school to segregated setting in special education schools.
