Special education

Read a random definition: imperfect justification

A quick definition of Special education:

Special education is when teachers make a special plan to help kids who have a hard time learning because of a disability. Disabilities can be things like trouble seeing, hearing, or understanding things. The plan is called an IEP and it helps the kid learn better. All schools have to make these plans for kids who need them. Some kids stay in regular classes with extra help, while others go to special classes to learn in a different way.

A more thorough explanation:

Special education is a program designed to help children with disabilities learn and succeed. It is individualized to meet the unique needs of each child, who may have physical, mental, behavioral, emotional, or learning difficulties.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires public schools to provide special education to children with disabilities. Private schools must also make reasonable accommodations for a child’s disability under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Special education can take many forms. Some students receive support in general education classrooms, while others take some classes outside of the general classroom. Some students may need to take all or most of their classes in special education programs, either within a public school or in a specialized school.

  • A student with dyslexia may receive extra help with reading and writing in a general education classroom.
  • A student with autism may take some classes in a separate classroom with specialized teachers and materials, but still spend time in a general education classroom.
  • A student with severe physical disabilities may attend a specialized school with accessibility features and specialized equipment.

These examples illustrate how special education can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. It can take place in a variety of settings and can include a range of services and accommodations.
