_Why special needs education is important?_Under the Individuals with Disabilities Act, special education is defined as “Specially designed instruction, at no cost to parents, to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability.”The importance of education for all children, especially for those with disability and with limited social and economic opportunities, is indisputable. Indeed, the special education system allowed children with disability increased access to public education. Apart from that, the special education system has provided for them an effective framework for their education, and for the institutions involved to identify children with disability sooner. In turn, this promotes greater inclusion of children with disability alongside their nondisabled peers. In spite of these advances however, many obstacles remain, including delays in providing services for children with disability, as well as regulatory and financial hindrances that complicate the program for all involved. Enhancing the system necessitates better ways of understanding and measuring both ends of the special education continuum, namely the services special education children need and receive, and the academic outcomes these students achieve. Parents play a significant role in the lives of all children but more specifically, of those children with disabilities. The participation of the parents and the degree of acceptance of the presence of a disability, determines most of the outcomes when the child is ready for an independent life.“As special needs parents we don’t have the power to make life “fair,” but we do have the power to make life joyful.” “Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work.” “If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.”LikeCommentShare
