What Is Special Needs Education?
Special education is designed to help children learn the skills and information that other kids are learning in the general education curriculum. Special Needs Education aims at complete development of capabilities, social independence, and self-reliance — bearing in mind each child's individual needs.
Children whose learning is impacted by a cognitive, physical, emotional, or behavioral condition are eligible for special education. This way, students with disabilities get an opportunity to unleash their academic potential. Special education is carried out in different forms — in special classes, resource rooms, and special schools. It is not a "one size fits all" approach.
