Special education is instruction that is modified or
particularized for those students
with special needs, such as learning differences, mental health
problems, specific disabilities (physical or developmental), and
giftedness.
Intellectual giftedness is an intellectual ability significantly higher
than average.
Gifted children often develop asynchronously; their minds are often ahead
of their physical growth, and specific cognitive and emotional functions
are often developed differently (or to differing extents) at different
stages of development. One frequently cited example of asynchronicity in
early cognitive development is Albert Einstein, who did not speak until
the age of three, but whose later fluency and accomplishments belied this
initial delay. In regards to this fact, neuroscientist Steven Pinker
theorized that, rather than viewing Einstein's (and other famously gifted
late-talking individuals) adult accomplishments as existing distinct from,
or in spite of, his early language deficits, and rather than viewing
Einstein's lingual delay itself as a "disorder", it may be that Einstein's
genius and his delay in speaking were developmentally intrinsic to one
another.
Children with special needs have always been part of society. In the past,
some “special” education was provided to individual children on a
one-on-one basis, such as Jean Marc Gaspard Itard’s work with Victor, the
“wild child of Aveyron”. As formal education became established, welfare
or religious groups for the care of children with special needs often
became involved in their education. Government provision of special
education services generally followed the work of voluntary groups.

Special Education services in the United States now extend past
school-age into adulthood with the Post Secondary Transition For High
School Students with Disabilities program, as a better understanding
of life-long learning has been gained. It includes school-based
activities as well as family and community activities, and has become
a major testing ground for better teaching for all children, not
simply children with special needs. |
