Special education programmes are designed for those students who are mentally, physically, socially, and/or emotionally delayed. This aspect of delay, broadly categorised as a “developmental delay,” signifies an aspect of the child's overall development (physical, cognitive, and scholastic skills) that places them behind their peers. Due to these special requirements, students’ needs cannot be met within the traditional classroom environment. Special Education programs and services adapt content, teaching methodology and delivery instruction to meet the appropriate needs of each child.
