EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN AND THE ROLE OF TEACHERS

All children exhibit differences from one another in terms of their physical attributes (e.g., some are shorter, some are stronger) and learning abilities ( e.g. , some learn quickly and able to remember and use what they have learned in new situations; others need repeated practice and have difficulty maintaining and generating new knowledge and skills) . The differences among most children are relatively small, enabling these children to benefit from the general education program. The physical attributes and/or learning abilities of some children , however-those called Exceptional Children-differ from norm( either below or above) to such an extent that they require an individualized program of special education and related services to fully benefit from education. This paper is going to focus on causes and problems of exceptional children and role of teachers
