Result And Discussion !
Understanding Children with Special Needs !
Children with Special Needs (ABK) is a substitute term for children with disabilities or disabilities.
Actually, the term Children with Special Needs is to designate those who have physical, emotional, mental,
intellectual, and/or social disorders. The government understands the conditions that have shortcomings and

cultural. The biological basis of children with special needs can be associated with genetic disorders and
explains the biological classification of children with special needs, such as brain injury which can result in
