description Special education in Latin America is at a time of constant transformation due to the evolution of the concept of disability and the emergence of the new paradigm of inclusive education. The objective of this article is to recapitulate this transformation. We focus on the Costa Rican changes in this discipline and analyze the challenges that still prevail. For this, a historical documentary research centered on the verification and validation of sources was carried out. After analyzing the conceptual evolution of disability and special education in Costa Rica and Latin America, it is concluded that segregationist services prevail while inclusive education services emerge. This implies the need for an epistemological analysis of special education in Costa Rica that shapes the new perspectives of the discipline and promotes forceful changes in order to protect the human rights of people with disabilities.

La educación especial en América Latina se encuentra en un momento de constante transformación, cuyos cambios se han suscitado debido a la evolución en el concepto de discapacidad y al surgimiento del nuevo paradigma de educación inclusiva. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo realizar un recuento de dicha transformación, centrando su atención en los cambios costarricenses de la disciplina y analizando los desafíos que aún prevalecen. Para ello, se realiza una investigación histórica de revisión documental centrada en la contrastación y la validación de fuentes. Tras analizar la evolución conceptual de la discapacidad y la educación especial en Costa Rica y América Latina, se concluye que prevalecen servicios segregacionistas a la vez que emergen servicios de educación inclusiva, haciendo necesario un análisis epistemológico de la educación especial en Costa Rica que determine las nuevas miradas de la disciplina e impulse cambios contundentes en virtud de defender los derechos humanos de las personas en condición de discapacidad. A educação especial na América Latina se encontra em um momento de constante transformação, cujas mudanças ocorreram devido à evolução do conceito de deficiência e ao surgimento do novo paradigma de educação inclusiva. O presente artigo tem como objetivo contar a referida transformação, centrando sua atenção nas mudanças costarriquenses da disciplina e analisando os desafios que ainda prevalecem. Para isso, foi feita uma pesquisa histórica de revisão documental centrada no contraste e na validação de fontes. Depois de analisar a evolução conceitual da deficiência e da educação especial na Costa Rica e na América Latina, conclui que prevalecem serviços segregacionistas ao invés de emergirem serviços de educação inclusiva, sendo necessária uma análise epistemológica da educação especial na Costa Rica que determine as novas abordagens da disciplina e impulsione transformações contundentes em virtude de defender os direitos humanos das pessoas com deficiência.
