Special Education, (also known as special needs education, aided education, and vocational
education) is the practice of
educating students with special educational needs in a way that
addresses their individual differences and needs. Ideally, this
process involves the individually planned and systematically
monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and
materials, and accessible settings. These interventions are designed
to help learners with special needs achieve a higher level of
personal self-sufficiency and success in school and their community,
than may be available if the student were only given access to a
typical classroom education.
