Special education is a specialized educational program designed to meet the unique learning needs of students with disabilities. The goal of special education is to provide these students with an education that is tailored to their individual needs, abilities, and strengths.
Students who are eligible for special education services may have a range of disabilities, including physical, sensory, intellectual, emotional, or behavioral disabilities. These disabilities may impact their ability to learn, communicate, interact with others, and access the curriculum in the same way as their peers without disabilities.
Special education programs typically involve a team of professionals who work together to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each student. The IEP outlines the student's goals and objectives, the services and accommodations they will receive, and the methods of measuring progress.
Special education services may include:
- Accommodations and modifications to the curriculum: These may include changes to the instructional materials, methods of delivery, or assessment methods to ensure that students with disabilities can access and participate in the curriculum.
- Assistive technology: This may include devices or equipment that assist students with disabilities in communication, mobility, or other areas of learning.
- Specialized instruction: This may involve instruction in specific areas of need, such as reading, writing, or social skills.
- Related services: These may include services such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, or transportation that support the student's access to the curriculum.
Special education programs are designed to ensure that students with disabilities have the opportunity to reach their full potential and achieve success in school and beyond. They are a critical component of the educational system and provide important support to students who may face unique challenges in their learning.
Future Anxiety in Relation to Psychological Safety of Visually Impaired University Students
The present study aimed at revealing the nature of the relation between future anxiety and psychological safety among visually impaired university students, in addition to recognizing the
existence of differences at the level of anxiety regarding the factors of gender (Male/ Female)
and the degree of disability (totally blind / weak sight) and the academic stage (first to fourth)
for the future of visually impaired adolescents at the university level, in addition to recognizing
the most important future problems predicting future anxiety and the reduced psychological
safety among visually impaired adolescents from university students.
The study sample consisted of (100) visually impaired students, (50 females) and (50 males)
students In in Canal, Zagazig, Mansoura, Damietta and Ain shames universities. Their
ages ranged between 18-25 years with average age and standard deviation. To achieve the
objectives of this study, the researcher used two measures (future anxiety and psychological
safety) prepared by the researcher
