Special education

Special education may be best described as a purposeful intervention designed to overcome or eliminate the obstacles that keep children with disabilities from learning. In other words, it is about providing children with disabilities with individualized plans of instruction to help them succeed. With increasing awareness of the education of children with special needs, there is a lot of scope in this field. Special educators are hired by universities, government and private schools, special schools, and international NGOs working in the field of disability.
