In this study, the decisions taken in the field of special education in the National Education Council held five times between 1999 and 2021 were analysed. Eleven of the councils, which were held twenty times in total, dealt with special education. In the research, which was carried out by document-based research method, one of the qualitative research methods, data were collected through document analysis. According to the findings obtained in the research; although it was seen that the decisions of the Council were taken in order to eliminate the deficiencies in their period, it was determined that there were deficiencies in terms of realisation. In addition, it has been observed that the concepts and definitions related to special education have changed according to the years and that the subject of special education has been discussed more frequently in all the councils held closer to the present day. Since the decisions taken in each council consist of decisions taken in order to complete the deficiencies of the previous council decisions and to bring innovation to the field, the next council decisions should be investigated in terms of the decisions taken in the field of special education.
