The Special Education (SPED) system in
the Philippines is a vital part of the country's
commitment to inclusive education. It aims to
provide children with disabilities the
opportunity to receive an education that
meets their individual needs. SPED programs
are designed to help these students achieve
their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.

PREVALENCE OF
CHILDREN AND
YOUTH WITH
SPECIAL NEEDS
B. Special Education
Presented by:
Nabarte, Jelyn

The prevalence of
children and youth with
special needs refers to the
total number of cases of a
particular condition in a
specific population at a
particular time.
THERE ARE TWO MAIN
PERSPECTIVES ON
PREVALENCE:
This refers to cases that are
identified and in contact with certain
systems, such as schools, hospitals,
or government agencies. These
cases are often recorded in official
records and used to measure the
prevalence of special needs in a
population.
This refers to the total number of
cases, including those that have not
been identified or have not been in
contact with systems. True prevalence is
more difficult to determine because not
all children and youth with special needs
are registered or receive services.
1. DENTIFIABLE PREVALENCE 2. TRUE PREVALENCE
UNICEF Report on the Situation
Analysis of Children and Women in the
Philippines: In 1997, this report indicated
that the mean percentage of persons with
some types of disabilities in the
Philippines was 134 out of 1,000 people,
which translates to 10,720 out of 1 million
people.
TRUE PREVALENCE OF FILIPINO
CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH
SPECIAL NEEDS
The true prevalence of Filipino children and youth
with special needs is not accurately documented or
widely reported. Due to a variety of reasons such as
lack of comprehensive data collection, societal
stigmas, inadequate access to healthcare services,
and cultural beliefs that may hinder families from
seeking professional diagnosis and support for their
children with special needs.
TRUE PREVALENCE OF FILIPINO
CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH
SPECIAL NEEDS
As a result, there is a significant underestimation
of the actual number of children and youth with
special needs in the Philippines. Efforts to improve
data collection, increase awareness, enhance
accessibility to services, and reduce stigma are
essential in order to provide appropriate support
and care for Filipino children and youth with special
needs.
The universal estimate of the
prevalence of children with special
needs stands at 10% with
disabilities (WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION) and 2% with
giftedness and talent.
Base on the statistics and using
the universal estimate of 12%, it
maybe assumed that at least 4.8
million Filipino children and youth
need special education services ,for
those with disabilities is estimated
with 4 million, the gifted and
talented are estimated to 800,000.

Inclusive education
–involves teaching in all students in
the same age-appropriate general education
classroom at their local school, regardless of
the challenges they face. It is a new approach
towards educating the children with
disabilities and learning difficulties with that
of normal ones within the same roof.
BENEFITS OF
INCLUSIVE CLASSROOMS
Students with or without disabilities
benefit from inclusive education in a
variety of ways. For instance, teaching
students with special needs in inclusive
classrooms can lead to:
·GREATER ACADEMIC
GAINS IN LITERACY,
MATH, AND SOCIAL
STUDIES
·BETTER
COMMUNICATION
AND SOCIAL SKILLS
·FEWER ABSENCES
·LESS DISRUPTIVE
BEHAVIOR
·MORE MOTIVATION

CREATING AN
INCLUSIVE
CLASSROOM FOR
STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES
When developing inclusive classrooms for
students with disabilities, it’s crucial to review the
individual education plan (IEP) of each student
before incorporating new methods. The type of
disability that a student has can determine what
strategies work best.
Students with learning disabilities
succeed academically when given
specific remedial instructions. This could
involve breaking down an assignment
into smaller steps, using diagrams or
pictures to emphasize directions and
modeling instructions to help students
visualize what they need to do.
LEARNING DISABILITIES
Full-inclusion special education for
students with Down syndrome should
involve a multisensory-based program.
Multisensory instruction engages more
than one sense at a time, such as
pairing visuals with auditory
instructions or demonstrations of how
to complete a task.
DOWN SYNDROME
Students with autism may have
sensory processing difficulties and
need quieter classrooms, dimmer
lights, and minimal smells to
participate fully. Creating designated
learning areas can provide students
with a distraction-free zone to focus
on their work.
AUTISM
Health impairments can be due to a variety of
conditions, such as arthritis, epilepsy, ADHD, and
seizure disorder. Each condition comes with
unique impairments and modifying the
classroom with technology can make it easier for
students to learn and communicate. Providing
assignments electronically or audio-recording
lessons helps students access materials on their
own if they find it difficult to focus. .
HEALTH IMPAIRMENTS
Students who suffer from Emotional and
Behavioral Disorders (EBDs) may find it
difficult to practice impulse control or
interact with other students. Providing clear
classroom guidelines and implementing a
reward system that recognizes positive
behavior can influence students to engage
with their peers and do well in their
lessons.
EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES
Classroom accessibility is one of the major
challenges students with orthopedic
impairments face. If the student is in a
wheelchair, they may require special tables or
seats to participate comfortably. Writing aids,
such as pencil grips or special paper, can
benefit students with upper limb disabilities.
Teachers may also need to modify lesson
plans and class activities for accessibility.
ORTHOPEDIC IMPAIRMENTS
Students with a hearing impairment
may require assistive devices, such as an
induction loop or a transmitter with a clip-
on microphone worn by the teacher, to
succeed in the classroom. Written
materials and captioned videos can make
it easier for students to understand
instructions.
HEARING IMPAIRMENTS
Inclusive activities for visually-impaired
students require verbal instruction for
them to participate fully. Alternative
options may need to be offered if the
activities are off-campus. Supplying course
materials electronically can also help
students adapt information to a more
suitable format, such as audio.
VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS
Students can have multiple physical or
mental disabilities that make the classroom
environment more difficult to navigate.
Rather than rigidly sticking to a singular
program for all students to follow, provide
students with disabilities an individualized
schedule with alternative assignments or
tasks that align with their needs.
MULTIPLE DISABILITIES
Inclusive classrooms offer a
plethora of advantages for students
with disabilities, as well as those
without. By introducing certain
teaching strategies and adapting the
instruction to guarantee access,
students can have an improved
educational experience.
