Study of Issues and Challenges in Special Education
Keywords:

(SPED) instructors in India face when it comes to instructing students who have some kind of learning disability. The majority of instructors who work with children who have learning impairments have not received any training in special needs education from the school. As a result, they believe that they do not have the qualifications necessary to educate children who have learning disabilities. In addition, instructors who are assigned to educate students in SPED classrooms lack the methods necessary to work with students who have impairments. This study found that classrooms for children with learning disabilities in the Division of Ilagan as a whole have a poor learning environment to support Specialized Programs for the Education of Disabled Children (SPED), such as a lack of budget, curriculum guide, Instructional Materials (IMs), and even school facilities. It is possible to draw the conclusion that just putting students who have special needs in the same classroom as other students without providing them with the appropriate assistance is not adequate. Learners with disabilities did not obtain all of the essential assistance and services for accessing the curricular facilities, and the help that stakeholders provide to meet the requirements of students enrolled in SPED courses is extremely limited.
