Special education services in the country of Costa Rica have been affected by factors that most developing countries confront: shortages of trained personnel, geographic isolation of a large sector of the population, and severe economic limitations. Despite these challenges, services for students with learning disabilities in Costa Rica have rapidly expanded in the last 15 years through the development of resource rooms, recargo classrooms, and itinerant teacher delivery systems. The history and evolution of special education services in Costa Rica are described, along with critical issues that impede the expansion of educational services to students with learning disabilities, particularly in rural areas.
训练有素的人员短缺、很大一部分人口居住在地理上隔绝的地区以及严重的经济限制。尽管面临这些挑战，但在过去15年里，哥斯达黎加通过发展资源教室、补充授课教室和巡回教师授课系统，为学习障碍学生提供的服务迅速扩大。本文描述了哥斯达黎加特殊教育服务的历史和发展，以及阻碍向学习障碍学生，尤其是农村地区学生扩大教育服务的关键问题。
