What is Special Education?
Special Education refers to those educational programs and services based on and adapted by continuous assessment and evaluation which meet the needs of exceptional pupils. Special Education involves the special application of programs used for all pupils. However, in Special Education the speed or manner of delivery of the service, the placement or setting, teaching style and special supports and other variables, tailor these general learning programs to the needs of a specific exceptional pupil.
