The universe we live in, is an
emblem of versatility, so are the creatures existing within its boundaries. God
has created each and every individual unique and different in terms of
appearance, characteristics and abilities. The fact being that not all human
beings are alike, some are slightly different in terms of abilities which are
regarded as disabilities. But I think using the term “differently abled’’ instead of disabled would be more appropriate.
For such individuals special institutions with special education are available
which play their part in educating such individuals as much as possible.
Special education is designed
in a way to ensure that special people are provided with the environment that
helps them to get education, learn skills and grow effectively in society.
Under IDEA, fallowing are the categories
under which students are considered eligible to get education according to law;
- Autism
- Emotional disturbance
- Hearing impairments
- Deafness
- Deaf-Blindness
- Intellectual disability
- Specific learning disability
- Traumatic brain injury
- Orthopedic impairment
- Speech or language impairment
- Multiple disabilities
- Health impairments
- Visual impairments
Special education is basically
helpful in improving or eliminating the problems that cause hindrance in education
of disabled people. This education helps to prevent any problem that might
become a disability in future. Special education institutions are designed in
such a way that they remove the effects of disabilities and teach the skills that
allow individuals to function successfully. Improving functioning and learning
through aid of devices is also included in this.
Parents have the most
effective part in this situation as they must be aware of disabilities of their
children. They can either leave their children the way they or can contribute
to make them better human beings. They must know and avail the opportunities through
which they can provide education or any kind of skill to their children which
in turn will be help them to become better individuals and perform in a better
way.
