Special Education

Special education is defined as classroom or private instruction involving unconventional techniques, materials, exercises, facilities and subject matter designed for students whose learning needs cannot be met by a standard school curriculum. Students who fall under this category include those with different intellectual capacities, physical handicaps, behavioral disorders or learning disabilities. Modern special education allows for more of these aforementioned students to stay in regular schools, especially in the case of those individuals with learning disabilities.
