What is Special Education?
Special education is a tailored approach to learning that recognizes and addresses the unique needs of children with learning disabilities and difficulties. These challenges can be physical, cognitive, developmental, emotional, or behavioral in nature, and require individualized attention and support beyond what is typically provided in mainstream educational settings.
