Definition: "Special
educationis the individually
planned and systematically
monitored arrangement of
teaching procedures, adapted
equipment and materials,
accessible settings, and
other interventions designed
to help learners with
special needs achieve a
higher level of personal
self-sufficiency and success
in school and community than
would be available if the
student were only given
access to a typical
classroom education.
Students with special needs,
such as
learning differences,
mental health issues,
specific
disabilities (physical
or
developmental)[1]
, and
giftedness are those
whose needs are addressed
within the classroom
setting.
[2] However
generally, the term "special
education" refers
specifically to students
with learning disabilities,
mental conditions, and
other disabling conditions.
Beginning in 1952,
Civitans were the first
to provide widespread
training for teachers of
developmentally disabled
children"

"Don't jump to conclusions. Once
you have all of your information, analyze it carefully and look at
it from various viewpoints. Be as objective as possible and don't be
quick to judge. Remain judgment free as much as possible. This is a
time for you to use your critical thinking skills."
