Nobody is one hundred percent able. A person who cannot calculate (acaculus) has learning disability. What other people can do but I cannot do makes me a person with special needs. Disabilities cut across all ages of humanity.
Persons with special needs are very important and they require sense of belonging by all citizens. A regular student may possess high intellect but he/she can never be perfect. All Nigerians are valuable and resourceful.
To bring back the lost ability, there is need to rehabilitate whoever needs special attention. God is not happy with those who are not treating persons with special needs kindly.
Special education is designed to take care of the needs of those who are differently made. All human beings are talented/gifted, we need interpersonal and collective efforts and supports to develop ourselves and improve our quality of life.
Rehabilitation sciences deal with nature and nurture. Special educators have firsthand knowledge and skills on how to reform or return affected educational, physical, emotional, social, economical and psychological handicapping conditions of concerned individuals to right positions.
Gateway to success of these people is to accept them and give necessary attention and services by all and sundry.
God Bless You
