Special Education:
Special education is consists of an education program that is
modified to suit students that need help against normal students. It is most
commonly used for students with learning disabilities, mental health problems
of gifted students that can grow to their full potential in normal schools.
Special education systems usually modify their methods according to the need of
each student. Some students may need extra help when trying to learn a specific
or certain lesson, some need more stimulation or others need supplementary
tasks to perform at their true value. And to show their ability.
Rights of special students:
In some countries, associations and government departments were
funded to protect the rights of children with disabilities. These associations
force the education authorities to help any child that wants to study but have
a disability. People used to take special care of children that needed help to
study.
Usually, children go to school from the age of 6 or 7, but after
some studies, it was decided that kids with disabilities should begin a Special
education as early as possible to evolve properly.
Special Arrangements:
The
most advanced countries in this field are the United States and Scotland. The
level of Special education differs from country to country and that has a
direct connection with the level of social acceptance. The countries that offer
Special education have many different programs according to each person’s needs
and available funds.
They
can include integrated classes, therapy, family meetings, or special equipment.
Special education can only be provided by specialized personnel and special
resources. Their effects are important in the evolution of a child’s condition.
Most of the special schools must have a counselor or a therapist.
However,
in the last year’s special schools are not that important, since, in some
areas, teens with disabilities are included in mainstream education and join
normal schools. But there will always be some kids that need special attention
and a normal school can only do them harm.
Pakistan
has been also struggling to help special people with disabilities for many
years. There is now a special education center to help special children. Many
non-government organizations are working in this regard. One of the most
special education organizations is STEP (Special Talent Exchange Program). The
private sector is also working for the betterment of disabled society.
