About Special Education

Special education is the practice of teaching children in a way that accommodates their differences, disabilities and any special needs they might have. A child has special educational needs when they have a disability or learning problem that makes it more difficult for them to learn compared to other children their age. The problems could vary from issues with behaviour, communication, adapting to school work etc.

If parents have any doubts that their kid might need extra help, then they should look for advice from a trained specialist.

Are special education classes separate from typical classroom education?

This entirely depends on the child and what their specific needs are. The goal of special education classes is to help each individual reach a higher level of personal growth and self-sufficiency which may be hard to achieve if they only have access to typical classroom education.

Depending on the problem or disability a child has, they can either be placed in a special classroom full time, or they can still attend regular classes with extra help or modifications added on the side to assist them. This decision can be taken with the help of a specialist and after discussing what will be best for the child. In some cases children just need some extra attention, while in others they require a fully personalised learning program.

How to identify that a child needs special education?

Some children are easily identified due to their medical history. They could have birth defects, intellectual disabilities, visual or hearing impairment or anything of the sort. However, for many other students, they might be struggling with disabilities that are harder to notice at first glance. One of the main methods used to identify them is the discrepancy model.

The discrepancy model relies on the teacher noticing that a particular student's performance is noticeably below what is expected. At which point the teacher may make the decision to talk to the students parents and get them in contact with a special education specialist. The issue with this method is that some disabilities or other issues that might lead to worse school performances might be hard to notice even for teachers. This is why parents should be on the lookout for any signs that their child might be struggling more than usual in school. 

Absolutely not! The whole idea of special education lessons is to focus on the individuals and what they need to progress. Every child is different and we shouldn’t expect them to be able to learn the same way. It is crucial for special education lessons to be personalised so they can address the unique needs each student has. 

In the beginning before any classes start, each individual child should be assessed so their strengths and weaknesses can be determined. Depending on their needs, a study plan with goals will be created and carefully followed. Their progress will be monitored and adjustments to the program will be made when necessary.
