ABSTRACT

There are pupils and students who require special education of some kind in most elementary and primary school classes Students who need special education may include students who have hearing impairment or are deaf, students who have vision impairment or are blind, students with physical disabilities, students with intellectual disability, students with learning difficulties, students with behaviour disorders or emotional disturbance, and students with speech or language difficulties. Some students have a number of disabilities and learning difficulties. The study observed that the parents of the affected individual are usually genetically normal. Also the study observed that majority of children who are deaf-blind impaired also have additional physical, medical and/or cognitive problems. In conclusion, the study states that, globally, children with disabilities are often denied their right to education. For instance, in Bangladesh, only 30% of people with disabilities had completed primary school, compared with 48% of those with no disabilities. And that any abnormal pattern of behaviour which is above the expected norm for age and level of development can be described as “challenging behaviour. One of the recommendations was that government and well-meaning organisations should render good assistance to people with disability in order to encourage them for effective studies as their health conditions has greatly limited the capability and capacity.
