From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In the USA, Special needs is a term used in clinical diagnostic and functional development to describe individuals who require assistance for disabilities that may be medical, mental, or psychological. For instance, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the International Classification of Diseases 9th edition both give guidelines for clinical diagnosis. People with Autism, Down syndrome, dyslexia, blindness, or cystic fibrosis, for example, may be considered to have special needs. In the UK, Special needs often refers to special needs within an educational context. This is also referred to as special educational needs (SEN). More narrowly, it is a legal term applying in foster care in the United States, derived from the language in the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997. It is a diagnosis used to classify children as needing "more" services than those children without special needs who are in the foster care system. It is a diagnosis based on behavior, childhood and family history, and is usually made by a health care professional. From Wikipedia under the

I belong to the Masonic movement, and last year we bought a new adapted mini-bus for such folks as yourself, and for local kids. No publicity, just here are the keys. If you let me know which county you reside, I could put you in touch with a local representative. We lads are not what many mistakenly think, and go a long way to providing such items, when possible. The whole thing is a nice charitable arrangement, world-wide. A van / minibus with electric lift on the back etc., should not be a huge issue. Hope that we can help in some way Bob, the stand-in Charity Steward. Answered by Bob the Boat - Fri Feb 9 12:41:14 2007 How can I get experience working with kids with special needs? Q.

Q. I work with a boy who has Downs Syndrome. He is in 5th grade. His mother would like him to take music with the 3rd grade general ed class. Are there legal guidelines prohibiting an older special needs student from taking a class with younger peers? Asked by Keltic Krane - Wed Jan 9 00:03:52 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. In Illinois, the allowable age span in a special education classroom is 4 years on the elementary level and 6 on the high school level. I'm assuming, based on the answers here, that it must differ according to state law. You might want to check your state's board of education website for specifics.
