AB - This thesis reviews thought of Itoga Kazuo who was an impetus to the movement for guaranteeing educational rights for children with disabilities in Japan. Futhermore, it aims to discover particularities of his thought as well as potential implications for special education in Korea. To begin with, I delineated Itoga’s life, focusing on his accomplishments related to children with severe intellectual disabilities. Next, I examined aspects of Itoga’s thought around “let these children be the light of the world”, “self-realization”, and “guaranteeing of development”. As a result, I drew particularities of Itoga’s thought as follows. First, Itoga’s thought urges us to change our perception of children with disabilities(including adults), particularly of children with severe intellectual disabilities(including adults), and specifically each individual’s change towards them. Second, Itoga emphasizes that everyone with disabilities, regardless of it being severe intellectual or not, has the potential for self-realization and development as human beings and has something in common with those without disabilities in a basic course of development. Third, Itoga’s thought was established and deepened through welfare of children with disabilities and practice of special education. Finally, Itoga’s thought suggested implications for special education in South Korea.
