Students with physical and/ or developmental challenges like Blindness or Other Visual Impairments, Deafness and Other Hearing Impairments, Orthopaedic Impairments, Cereberal Palsy, Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder for example may be considered to have special needs.
