This article discusses the history of special education in Uzbekistan in 1925-1990 (in the case of blind children). The period from 1925 to 1990 marked a transformative era in the history of special education for blind children in Uzbekistan, characterized by significant developments and milestones that shaped the landscape of educational opportunities for visually impaired students. The establishment of specialized institutions, development of educational materials, professional development of educators, emphasis on vocational training, and the promotion of inclusive educational policies and practices during this period underscored Uzbekistan’s commitment to providing inclusive, supportive, and enriching educational opportunities for blind children. These developments not only laid the foundation for the subsequent evolution of special education in Uzbekistan but also reflected a progressive and forward-thinking approach to addressing the unique needs of visually impaired students. ‎
