특수교육이 무엇인지를 정의하기는 쉽지 않다. 특수교육을 정의하려면 특수교육이 누구를 왜, 어디에서, 무엇으로, 어떻게 가르치는 것인지를 모두 명확하게 규정해야 하는데, 그것을 모두 포괄해 명확히 규정하기가 쉽지 않기 때문이다. 특수교육이 추구하는 궁극적인 목표는 보통의 교육과 다를 수 없습니다만, 교육의 철학, 대상, 장소, 내용, 방법 등은 모두 일반교육과 달라 규정하기가 쉽지 않다. 특수교육이 누구를 왜, 어디에서, 무엇으로, 어떻게 가르쳐야 하는지를 답하기가 쉽지 않다는 것은 그 답이 고정되어 있지 않고 시대와 사회의 변화에 따라 달라지기 때문이다. 예를 들면, 특수교육을 받는 학생의 장애와 관련해 장애의 개념과 범주도 계속 바뀌어 왔고, 그들을 어디에서 가르쳐야 하느냐에 대한 장소의 선호 또한 계속 바뀌어 왔다. 이런 특수교육의 변화는 인간에 대한 사랑(人間愛)을 지향하여 이루어진 변화라고 본다.
