摘要：In 1910 the Ministry of Public Instruction and Fine Arts created the National Council for the Deaf-Mute, Blind and Defectives in order to protect and to be in charge of both sensorial and intellectually disabled people. The aim of this paper is to outline the trajectory of this institution from its creation to the beginning of the Spanish Civil War and to highlight its contribution to the process of institutionalization of assistance to the so-called «abnormal children». The foundation of the Council was based on a very ambitious project that undergone a lot of transformations over time to the beat of ongoing political changes. This instability, along with other internal problems, impeded Council to carry out most of its objectives. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that its activity helped to gain visibility the problem of the intellectually disabled children in Spain and laid the foundations for the development of special education during the first decades of the 20th century.
