{{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Exceptional children differ from average
children in mental characteristics, sensory abilities, physical characteristics,
emotional behavior, or communication abilities to the extent that they require
special educational services to develop to their potential{{/U}}. The Department
of Education estimates that 10 to 20 percent of the children in the United
States suffer from handicaps while another 2 to 3 percent are considered gifted.
Special education provides these children with individualized learning
experiences suitable to their unique abilities. Caring for
people who have disabilities is relatively a new idea. In ancient times,
disabled people were left to die. During the Middle Ages they were treated more
humanely, but still it was not thought that they could learn. {{U}}
{{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}In the 19th century, residential treatment
centers were established, first in Europe and then in the U.S. by individual
states, to care for people who were blind, deaf, severely retarded, or suffered
from severe emotional disorders.{{/U}} By the 20th century, special classes and
public day schools were begun, but these facilities provided service for very
few children. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}After World War II
the attitude of Americans concerning the education of per sons who were disabled
changed significantly.{{/U}} Responsibility for special education was assumed by
state legislatures and the federal government. Parent groups formed to lobby for
the rights of children with disabilities, joined with professional educational
programs. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}In 1925
the U.S. congress passed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act which
guarantees a free and appropriate education to all children in the U.S. between
the ages of 3 and 21.{{/U}} The law provides funds for special education programs
to states and local districts that comply with a set of guidelines. These
include provision of special education services in the last restrictive
environment, an individualized educational plan for each child, a comprehensive
diagnosis of each child's disabilities by qualified professionals, an annual
review of each child's progress, and the involvement of parents in educational
decisions. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Amendments to the law
require that the local school districts actively search for and offer services
to disabled children between ages three and five.{{/U}} Although
the education of students with special gifts and talents is still largely
ignored, more programs ale now available to meet their needs. Some 23 states
mandate special services for these students. Talents may be in academic,
artistic, creative, or leadership abilities.
