EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN

MEANING OF EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN

TRADITIONAL CONCEPT Exceptional children are those children who deviate from

average (normal) children to the extent that they cannot receive classroom instruction in regular school

MODERN CONCEPT

Exceptional children are those children who differ so much from average (normal) children in their mental, physical, emotional and social characteristics that may require modification of school environment or special (supplementary) educational services in order to develop to their maximum capacity. Today, emphasis is on ‘environment’ and ‘special services’ and not on ‘special schools’ for almost all types of exceptional children.
