13 Special children

According to the American Education for the Disabled Act (IDEA), special children are subdivided into 13 categories, including learning disabilities, speech or language disorders, mental retardation, emotional disorders, multiple disorders, hearing impairment, physical disability, other health disorders, visual impairment, autism, deafness and blindness, traumatic brain injury and developmental retardation. Each category has its own unique characteristics and needs.

Seven kinds of disabled people in China

In our country, according to the standards of the second national sampling survey of disabled people in 2006, we divide disabled people into seven categories: vision, hearing, speech, intelligence, limbs, spirit and various disabilities. Each disability is divided into 1-4 grades according to its degree. This means that no matter what challenges they face, we have corresponding support and care methods.
