Special Education Resources

Special education is defined as direct instructional activities or special learning experiences designed primarily for students identified as having exceptionalities in one or more aspects of the cognitive process or as being underachievers in relation to general level or model of their overall abilities. Such services usually are directed at students with physical, emotional and cognitive learning disabilities. Programs for the mentally gifted and talented are also included in some special education programs.
