special needs

A quick definition of special needs:

Special needs are the extra help and support that someone with a disability needs to be safe and successful. Disabilities can be physical, mental, behavioral, emotional, or learning difficulties. People with special needs might need things like special equipment, extra time to complete tasks, or help from others. Places like schools, workplaces, and public transportation must make sure they can accommodate people with special needs so they can participate fully in public life. This is because of a law called the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that says people with disabilities should not be treated unfairly.

A more thorough explanation:

Special needs refer to the personalized care and support that individuals with disabilities require to ensure their safety, access to public amenities, or ability to succeed in certain contexts. These disabilities can be physical, mental, behavioral, emotional, or learning difficulties.

For example, a student with dyslexia may require special accommodations in the classroom, such as extra time to complete assignments or the use of assistive technology. A person with a physical disability may require wheelchair ramps or accessible restrooms in public buildings. A person with autism may require specialized therapy or support services to navigate social situations.

Many public amenities, such as schools, places of employment, transportation services, government programs or services, and commercial facilities, must make reasonable efforts to accommodate a person’s special needs. This is mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in many areas of public life.

Overall, special needs are the unique requirements that individuals with disabilities have, and it is important for society to provide the necessary accommodations and support to ensure their full participation and inclusion.

U have great stats! I wouldn't be too nervous. Did u write why Northwestern and why Chicago?

16:22
having a masters degree is probably a positive, it shows you can do grad level coursework and probably generated a strong rec letter
@RightPlant: you have a great chance at Northwestern!
Chicago, also not a bad chance, but it is more of a crapshoot
Esp since they care more about GPA than LSAT
