Special Educational Needs refer to learners with physical,
and developmental disabilities; behavioral, emotional, and communication
disorders; and learning deficiencies. Special Educational Needs refers to
teaching learners who -for intellectual or medical reasons- fall behind with
their education when compared to most of their peers.
Special
education refers to a range of services that can be provided in different ways
and in different settings. There’s no “one size fits all” approach to
special education. We strive to meet the needs of students with disabilities,
to help them learn, but it doesn’t mean placing kids in a special classroom all
day long; instead kids who get special education services should learn in the
same classrooms as other kids as much as possible.
The services and support for one student may be very different from those of
another. For example, some students may spend most of the day in a general
education classroom, others may spend just an hour or two in a resource room
working with a specialist. Other students might need to attend a different school
that specializes in teaching kids with learning disabilities.
Kids who qualify for special education get individualized teaching and other resources at no cost to their families. Specialists work with kids on strengths as well as challenges. And families are key members of the team that decides what kids need to thrive in school.
