Challenges faced by a Special Child in his/her routine life. The World Health Organisation (1980) has defined a Special child/ Disabled child as “one who over an appreciable period is prevented by physical or mental conditions from full participation in the normal activities of their age groups including those of social, recreational, educational and vocational nature ”.[citation] Children with special needs have a mental, physical, medical or social conditions that interferes with their normal functioning. These children face a lot of challenges in their day to day lifes than their peers. These challenges a special child faces are usually doubled. On one hand, they struggle with the symptoms and disabilities that result from the disease. On the other, they are challenged by the stereotypes and prejudice that result from misconceptions about special child. As a result of both, children with special needs are denied of the opportunities that define a quality life. there are other things such as bullying, parental neglect, social acceptability, low self esteem, community misconception and stigma that a special child has to face in his/her routine life. The medical challenges a special child faces might require arduous task involving a multidisciplinary team to provide a comfortable standard
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law enacted in 1990 and reauthorized in 1997 and 2004. It is designed to protect the rights of students with disabilities by ensuring that everyone receives a free appropriate public education (FAPE), regardless of ability. Furthermore, IDEA strives not only to grant equal access to students with disabilities, but also to provide additional special education services and procedural safeguards. Special education services are individualized to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities and are provided in the least restrictive environment. Special education may include individual or small group instruction, curriculum or teaching modifications, assistive technology,

Introduction: I chose to interview a pediatric occupational therapist as this is a field I am interested in going into. The interview was held over zoom on February 15th at 2:00pm. For this interview, I spoke with Dr. Herban, a licensed pediatric occupational therapist with over 17 years of experience in the field. Dr. Herban received her degree in Occupational Therapy from Boston University in 2001 and has worked in a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals, schools, and private practices.

To live with disable child can have deep impact on overall family members. It turns out to be an exclusive shared experience for the families and this may impact on the overall family functioning. While considering the positive impact, this widens the horizons, raising more awareness among family members considering their
Knowing their needs is important to adapt the practices and to respect them as individuals. According to the author (Raymond, 2012), the perception of the students about the services they receive determine the outcome of the education efforts. For that, the teachers ' role is to guarantee that the student does not feel inferior, unequal, wich would be the negative conotation of the special education placement (Raymond, 2012). Instead of focusing on their difficulties, teachers should focus on reducing the gaps with more inclusive
3.3 Explain ways in which children with additional needs can participate fully in play and learning activities Children who have additional needs or disabilities may fully participate in play and learning activities. This is done by ensuring they have an adapted environment and well thought activity which means they can participate just as well as others.

Parents and family members with a child of any age would also benefit from the information delivered in this speech although older children may not receive such impactful results. Significance: This speech is relevant to my audience because the impact of such a significant diagnosis is a life changing and emotional event for families and the need for direction and guidance at such a critical time in their child’s life is essential. My audience should understand that providing their child with early intervention therapy will impact their child’s life indefinitely.
So many federal laws and regulations have paved the way for individuals with disabilities to be able to have the equal opportunity for success. Education was not always an option for everyone, there was a time when receiving an education was a privilege. When writing about IDEA Garguilo states that “we consider this law to be one of the most important pieces, if not the most important piece, of federal legislation ever enacted on behalf of children with special needs” (page 45). This law allowed for all children with disabilities to receive a free appropriate education. IDEA changed the way for these individuals allowing for a: FAPE, LRE, IEP, procedural due process, nondiscriminatory assessment, and parental participation.
In the program, there are students with learning disabilities, students with autism, nonverbal students, students with behaviors, and much more. There are students right here at CHS that have these disabilities and most students here do not understand how to interact with them. Also for those of you who are future parents, you never know what the future holds and you could have a child with disabilities. Credibility: My mom is a Special Education teacher, I have watched her teach for many years. I have also assisted with some of my moms students.
Children with special needs are referred to as exceptional children, in the United States education, care, and treatments are accomplished through interaction and collaboration between public health and education field. A well known exceptional person, Hellen Keller beat the odds and became an author and activist for people with disabilities.

The reason for this is because the cause can be very difficult to determine. For socially constructed disabilities, it is important to determine if the cause is actually a disability or if the child is does not fit into the expected norms of society. In other words, is this a true disability or is it considered a disability due to social norms and standards. Furthermore, do these social constructs cause the exclusion of students from general education classroom or other situation that students would normally be allowed to participate?
Now, I realize that a student needing special education does not automatically mean that they will need help with everything and have an extremely difficult time learning. Most of the students I observed did not seem any different than the students not in special education. They just needed extra help in certain subjects. They picked up on the material much more quickly than I had thought they would and were able to do more on their own than I had originally thought. Before this class and project, I also did not think about the fact that students with special needs often stay in the general education classroom as well as working in the special education
Non-acceptance can result in bullying, depression, or even persecution. In Russia, special needs people are wrongly faced with discrimination and deemed unstable; however, they help citizens to have positive attitudes, they do not have negative impacts in inclusive classrooms, and they prove the misconceptions about their work capability wrong.
