Summary

This lesson introduces special education, explains its purpose, and distinguishes it from related forms of education. It also explores the historical shift toward protecting students’ access to education.

Special education is instruction planned to accommodate students’ individual differences, disabilities, and educational needs. It may involve adapted teaching procedures, equipment and materials, or accessible learning environments.
