This document discusses special education for exceptional children. It defines key terms like exceptional, handicap, and disability. Exceptional children can be classified into nine groups including mental retardation, learning disabilities, and giftedness. Nearly 4.2 million children in the US received special education services during the 1980-1981 school year. Play is important for children's learning, development of skills, and emotional well-being. The objectives of taking education beyond the classroom are to expose children to the world, paint a picture of their future, and educate them through experiential learning. Building character and integrity in children is emphasized so they can become leaders tomorrow.

2. SPECIAL EDUCATION TO
EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN
• Educating exceptional children is an exciting,
challenging , and rapidly changing career.
• But before we describe facts about handicapped
and gifted children, specific educational programs
and instructional techniques must be apply and
some of the joys and accomplishments that can
be obtained when professionals and parents
works together, we need to presents several
concepts basic to an understanding of
exceptional children and special education.

3. WHO ARE THE EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN
• Before we can list the general characteristics of
exceptional children, we must define and
differentiate three terms:
• EXCEPTIONAL
• HANDICAP
• DISABILITY
• Exceptional is an inclusive term that refers to any
child whose performance deviates from the norm,
to such an extent that special education
programming is indicated.

4. Handicap & Disability
• Handicap ;refers to the
problems and difficulties a
person encounters
because a physical
disability or behavioral
characteristic mark him or
her as different from other
individuals. Handicap is a
more restrictive term than
exceptional and does not
include the gifted.
• Disability; is a physical
problem that limits a
person’s ability to perform
certain tasks that most
other people can perform.
It is basically the same as
an impairment. A disabled
person is not handicapped.
However, unless that
physical problem leads to
educational, social,
vocational, or other
difficulties.

5. EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN
• Exceptional children can be loosely classified as falling into one or more of the
following:
1) Mental retardation
2) Learning disability
3) Behavior disorders (emotionally disturbed)
4) Communication (speech and language) disorder
5) Hearing impairments
6) Visual impairments
7) Physical and other health impairments
8) Severe handicaps
9) Gifted and talented.
