I think the purpose of Special Education is to give students a space where their individual needs are being met. Special education teachers must be able to adapt and be flexible in order to set their students up for success as best as they can.

The purpose and focus of Special Education is to provide free and accessible services to students ages 3 - 21.  The services are designed specifically to meet the individual needs of students that qualify for SPED( EL, Gifted, Special Needs, Autism, IEP's, etc)

To me, the purpose of SPED is to give every student a space where they feel their needs are being met. It's a program where the teachers adapt to each students learning style and supports them in the way that is best for the student. I also think it's not just working with the student but their families as well.

I think the purpose of SPED is to give all students the support they need, how they need it. It gives students a chance to shine in how they think and what they know.

SPED is a program in which students with different specialized needs can receive individualized education in order to succeed. It is a program in which students are supported and in a safe environment where they can thrive.

I think the purpose of special education in the classroom is to adjust curriculum and give additional support to students whose brains work differently than the "norm". Every student learns differently and it is important that education is equitable and everyone's needs are being met.

The role of special education is to adapt any curriculum to fit the need of students with individual educational plan, that they can have equal opportunities to learn and thrive.

I think the purpose and focus of SPED is to give students an opportunity to learn in a successful way for that student. Giving students tools that will support them in learning. It will not always be easy for the students, but it can help the students learning path be better.

To give equal opportunity to students with learning challenges. To create a modified curriculum and provide tools so that students can learn to the best of their ability and grow to be productive, intelligent members of the community.

I think the purpose/focus of SPED would be to make sure the students are being supported in the classroom. In all honesty I am hoping I learn a better answer to this question by the end of the course :)
