'''Special education''' is the [[education]] of students with special needs in a way that addresses the students' [[individual]] [[differences]] and needs. [[Ideally]], this [[process]] involves the individually planned and [[systematically]] monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and [[materials]], [[accessible]] settings, and other [[interventions]] [[designed]] to help learners with special needs [[achieve]] a higher level of [[personal]] self-sufficiency and success in school and [[community]] than would be available if the student were only given [[access]] to a typical classroom education. | '''Special education''' is the [[education]] of students with special needs in a way that addresses the students' [[individual]] [[differences]] and needs.
