Special Education Programs

Educators working with special needs children are charged with integrating them into regular classrooms, but it is a challenge to provide these students with the individualized instruction they need and to provide accurate assessment and reporting capabilities. Common education issues like standards and accountability pose larger challenges for special education programs because of the need for more individualized educational materials.
