Students with disabilities are individuals who have physical, mental, or emotional conditions that may affect their learning and daily activities. These disabilities can include a wide range of challenges, such as learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, visual impairments, and physical disabilities. Schools provide support and accommodations to help these students succeed in their education.
To ensure that students with disabilities receive appropriate assistance, laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandate that schools create individualized education plans (IEPs). These plans outline specific goals and the resources needed to help each student thrive academically and socially, promoting an inclusive learning environment.
