SPECIAL  EDUCATION

Special education is education for the exceptional children. The study of exceptional children is the study of differences because an exceptional child is defferent in some ways from the average children. Exceptional children may have problems or special talents in thingking, seeing, hearing, speaking, socializing, or moving. More often than not such children have a combination of special abilities or dissabilities, these children require special education and related services to help them realize their full human potential. They need specially designed instruction that can fulfil their unique needs.

To help the exceptional children special materials, teachinig technique, equipments and/or facilities may be required. In addition to their individual facilities, they also need special services such as special transportation, psychological assessment, physical and occupational therapy, medical treatment, and counselling. All these can make special education effective.

Special education services may take place in two ways, integration or segregation. In the integration service, the exceptional child is treated together with normal peers in a certain range of integration setting depending on the child's ability and degree of his or her problems. On the contrary, segregation follows the other way. An exceptional child is treated in a special school with other children of the same kind of handiccaping conditions. Segregation can also be conducted in an institution in which children with different handicapping condition get over all kinds of services. This kind of institution is considered as a place for rehabilitation center.
