SPED is the abbreviation of special education, which means special education.

Special education is a specific form of education, which provides educational courses and services for students with special needs. Special needs may come from students' cognitive, behavioral, social, emotional, physical or language difficulties, and more professional and personalized teaching methods and skills may be needed to help students achieve their learning and development goals and promote their all-round growth.

In the practice of special education, professional special education teachers are needed to provide guidance and support for students, and effectively promote their all-round development in the process of communication, attention and understanding with problem students. At the same time, some auxiliary or adaptive devices, such as hearing AIDS and work adaptation skills, are needed to help them adapt to the environment, complete their learning tasks better and improve their learning effects.

The teaching contents and methods of special education are different from those of general education. The setting of educational content should fully consider the actual needs of special students, and diversified and personalized educational content design can enable students to give full play to their potential in the most comfortable learning environment. Accordingly, the teaching methods also need to focus on small classes, personalized education and heuristic learning, and help them achieve the best learning effect in a personalized, adaptive, emotional and participatory way.

Special education faces many challenges. First of all, the situation of talent training is not sufficient. We should strengthen the training of talents in the field of special education, such as training teachers and graduate students in related disciplines, so as to ensure their sustained, healthy and rapid development. Secondly, study the synergy between special education and mass education.

Special education is not unrelated to general education. The two should attach importance to each other, coordinate and complement each other, and form a systematic and complete education system. In addition, special education costs a lot and needs a lot of resources, including educators, educational equipment, educational environment and so on.

Special education is an educational form and teaching process for students with special learning needs. The practice of special education needs to fully understand and manage these students with difficulties, invest enough manpower, material resources and financial resources, and take personalized education, emotional education, adaptive education and participatory education as the guidance to improve students' learning ability and quality of life and promote their all-round development.
