Special Education

Special education refers the unique type of learning, support, and services that are provided to people with identified disabilities and requires professionally trained individuals to provide the education. Such kind of teaching is provided to those who are physically, emotionally, mentally, or socially delayed and thus, cannot use the normal learning.

The special education is facing many significant trends and issues today including the following.  First, the special education is being confronted with the trend of inclusion or integration of students. During the early days, students with disabilities used to get their studies from unique classes away from others. However, in the today world, the students are getting their studies together including those with disability and without. The motive of inclusion is to help them know that they are equally the same despite the differences in ability that they are having. The trend has an impact on supporting the students’ talents to be quickly known thus, working to improve it for a better future. Also, it will make the students with disabilities feel equal and appreciate their status (Brownell et al, 2010).

Second, there is a significant trend that is called Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) that connects neurological and motor learning in a way that helps the students with autism and other related disorders to develop easier and more efficient communication.  LAMP is assisting significantly to those students with communication problems hence, making it easy for them to reach higher education and get achievements. Thus, it has impacted to improved lives for people with disability since they can get better employment and incomes from the unique higher education that they achieve (Friend et al, 2013).

Third, the trend of assistive technology is on the rise that helps the students with physical disorders or other types to be in a position to access education quickly. The advancement involves the use of e-readers rather than the traditional books making reading for students comfortable. Notably, the innovation of better computers that are assisting students with eye disorders has helped in making the students access the skills that they could have otherwise not achieved quickly. Such a trend has done teaching for students with disability easy since, the technology speeds the learning (Kauffman et al, 2011).

Fourth, the trend of student-led planning whereby, when students reach the higher education, they are called to have more input in the education plan. The program has facilitated in making the students with the disability to be more independent in their adulthood and also, giving instructors the chance to educate students based on the method that they favor. Importantly, it makes students choose what to learn about in the life skills. The students-led planning has helped in making the lives of people with disorders better since they learn the life skills that they feel are best for them and in turn use them as a source of livelihood (Unger et al, 2014).  

Additionally, the trend of special education in colleges today has changed to increasing the number of students who are enrolling in them compared to earlier days whereby, students with disorders used to be few. Moreover, the exams for such students have increased so as to help them improve their weaknesses and better lives. The situation has impacted to a better livelihood for persons with disability and making them appreciate their conditions and feel equal with others.

Issues affecting special education

Importantly, the special education in colleges is being faced by many problems in the today's’ world including, lack of professionals who are trained to teach students. Given the complications that tutors in exceptional education face, individuals shun from learning the program so that they can teach students who face such disorders and require professionals to attend them. The issue causes the persons with the abnormalities to live in poor states since they lack the skills that can help them in improving their lives. Also, it leads to the individuals with a disability having low self-esteem as they feel unequal from others (Banks et al, 2009).

Further, the education in colleges is being faced by the issue of lacking funds given that the government fails to fund such institutions or provides little financial support to them. Since the students with a disability are perceived to be less significant to the society, the government and other organizations fail to support them in achieving their mission. The issue leads to the presence of few institutions that provides special education. Notably, some colleges are closing down due to lack of finances that can run them in providing services to people with disorders.

Finally, the issue of unavailability of materials to teach special education to students at colleges presents a major challenge to the program since, lack of such tools leads to poor learning and delays in the speed of learning for the material are insufficient (Friend et al, 2010). The problem results in most people who have disabilities living deplorable lives as they lack skills that can help them in lives and collapse of such colleges.
