Children with special needs do require classroom setup that takes care of all their needs. Most schools have a team of teachers and special educators working together and a program designed for the same, as well. It is a fact that if children with special needs are provided the environment and assistance required, they are capable of achieving the same feat as their peers.
Lets run through some of the classroom needs.

Children with special needs simply need support and cooperation from the teachers, psychologists, special educators as well as therapists to help them bloom to the fullest. As simple as that.
