Nature and Characteristics of Special Education
We may make the following deductions regarding the nature and traits of special education thanks to the many definitions.
- By definition and terminology, special education is always intended to serve the unique needs and requirements of children who are exceptional or special.
- Since special education is developmental in nature, it follows a kid from conception to death.
- The nature of special education is extremely specialized and distinct. For making exceptional pupils learn, it thus requires special teachers, special students, special techniques, support, and a specific learning environment.
- Special education is highly customized in that it addresses the exceptionality, specialness, or impairment of a particular kid and aids in the full development of his potential.
- In the sense that it reaches or moves toward the child rather than requiring the kid to move to receive it, special education is mobile.
- In the sense that it is given to the kid from the very beginning until the very end, or at the very least until it is required for their welfare, development, and adjustment, special education is continuous.
- To meet the unique demands of exceptional children, special education is intense, requiring all-around efforts to be made at a very high level.
- Research-focused and experimental in nature, special education. Active research and experimentation underpin all we do in special education.
- The results of special education may be measured and put to the test.
- Since it provides the education required for every sort of unusual or unique person without regard to age, caste, colour, sex, language, culture, socioeconomic circumstances, regional identity, or nation, special education is fairly universal.
