Document Summary
Ultimately teaching is what special education is mostly about. Special education can sometimes be differentiated from general education by its curriculum . by what is taught and how. Some children need intensive, systematic instruction to learn skills that typically developing children acquire without specialized instruction. Special education also differs from general education by its use of specialized, or adapted, material, and methods. Other features that often distinguish special education teaching from instruction in general education are its precision, focus, intensity, and frequency of student progress measures. It can also be identified (but not defined) by where it takes place. Although the majority of children spend most of their school day in general education classrooms, others are in separate classrooms or separate residential and day schools. The differences between general and special education are important. General education is an entitlement for all students.
