This article presents and discusses the development of the Brazilian Journal of Special Education and its relation to the Brazilian Association of Researchers in Special Education - ABPEE. The context for the foundation of the Association and the Journal was related to the development of Brazilian graduate level courses (Masters and Doctorate) in education and psychology. Gradually, the articles that were sent in from various Brazilian states increased the number of authors from various parts of the country. The data shows that from the beginning, the Association and the Journal have been connected, revealing a relationship between authors and members of the ABPEE. In 2005, the Journal started receiving international papers, broadening the journal's participation from a national to an international sphere. We conclude that the Journal has become a highly regarded contribution in the field of Special Education in Brazil.
