Abstract: The article focuses on the evolution of special education, highlighting the transition through various eras leading to the current evidence-based practice (EBP) era, which emphasizes the use of high-quality research to improve outcomes for students with disabilities. It outlines the historical "pioneer era," the "advocacy era," and the "research-based practice era," culminating in the EBP era that began in the early 2000s. The article previews a series of contributions that discuss specific evidence-based practices, including strategy instruction for students with learning disabilities, check-in checkout for emotional and behavioral disorders, video modeling for autism, time delay for students with extensive support needs, and technology-based interventions for students who are deafblind. The authors aim to bridge the research-to-practice gap in special education through the dissemination of these practices. [Extracted from the article]
