Special Education
"Special education is the instruction designed for the student's special learning needs. Some of these students have difficulty learning in regular classrooms; they need special education to function in school. Others generally do well in regular classrooms; they need special education to help them master additional skills to reach their full potential. In short, special education is evidence of society's willingness to recognize and respond to the individual needs of students and the limits of regular school programs to accommodate these needs."— Ysseldyke & Algozzine (1990)
