What is Special Education?
Special Education is a term used to describe a
wide range of supports and programs for students who
need different teaching methods or special equipment
to allow them to be successful in school.
Sometimes Special Education support involves a
different way of teaching; sometimes it means a student
will get extra time for writing tests or special equipment
to help them with their school work. In a Special
Education program, students may be placed in separate
classes for all or part of the day, or stay in their regular
class with support from an educational assistant.
The most important thing to remember is that
Special Education is intended to help the child
succeed in school.
