Definition

  • The term disabled student refers to a student who is considered to have an impairment (mental, physical, sensory, emotional, or cognitive), which impacts, limits, or restricts the student's learning processes and social participation to the extent that he or she needs particular additional support in order to acquire an education. The learning content offered to a student with disabilities can reach from basic life skills to academic content knowledge. [Source: Sociology of Education: An A-to-Z Guide; Disabled Students]
