Welcome to a platform dedicated to empowering students, educators, and families in the realm of special education. My mission is to provide high-quality resources and support to enhance learning experiences for students with diverse needs.
I believe that every child deserves an inclusive, supportive, and tailored education that helps them thrive. Our goal is to bridge the gap in special education by offering valuable information, practical learning materials, and engaging content that fosters growth, independence, and confidence.
What is Special Education? (Unique Child with Unique Method by Unique Teacher)
Special education refers to customized instruction provided under the IDEA law to meet the unique needs of students identified with specific learning disabilities. Students with one or more of below qualifying categories or conditions receive necessary services at no cost, covering a broad range of disabilities, mental, physical, behavioral, and emotional that vary in severity.
According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), special education is defined as “specially designed instruction, at no cost to the parents, to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability.” This instruction includes adapting the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to address the child’s specific disability and ensure their access to the general curriculum, allowing them to meet the educational standards within the jurisdiction of the public agency that applies to all children.
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), categories qualify a child for special education, provided that one or more of these conditions adversely affect their educational performance. These categories are:
- Autism
- Blindness
- Deafness
- Emotional Disturbance
- Hearing Impairment
- Intellectual Disability
- Multiple Disabilities
- Orthopedic Impairment
- Other Health Impairment
- Specific Learning Disability
- Speech or Language Impairment
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Visual Impairment
- Other disability if any – as per various country LAW.
