Special education is to educate children with special needs with universal or specially designed courses, textbooks, teaching methods, teaching organization forms and teaching equipment, aiming at achieving universal and special training goals. Its purpose and task is to meet the social and educational needs of special children to the greatest extent, to develop their potential, to enable them to increase their knowledge, acquire skills, improve their personality, enhance their social adaptability and become useful talents to society.

Special education pays more attention to early education, because the younger children are, the greater their plasticity is, and they can also protect the residual vision and hearing of disabled children as soon as possible and develop their intelligence and language ability. If you miss the best period, you will often get twice the result with half the effort. If early language training is not carried out for deaf children, it will bring great difficulties to future language development. Compared with general education, special education pays more attention to individualized education and emphasizes teaching students in accordance with their aptitude to meet the special needs of different students.
