Special needs child In general terms a special needs child is one who has some type of physical or mental/emotional disability. The specific definition of "special needs" varies from state to state. It may be that the child has special medical issues, mental health issues, abuse history, learning disabilities, or is just an older child or of a minority race.
A SPECIAL NEEDS child is a child that for various reasons doesn't fit the "NORM". They may need help in any area of daily living skills. Some may be slightly delayed in dressing themselves, while others are total care, and need help in all aspects of daily skills. In days past, these kids were called "retarded", "deformed", "handicapped","slow", "disabled" etc... "Special Needs" covers all and seems more polite.
Adoption related: In (PA), any child in the foster care system over 4 years old is considered special needs. The term is extremely broad, and can really mean: "Any child but a perfectly healthy, white infant" ... the "in demand" children for adoption. ... a parent of two adopted "special needs" children (healthy children adopted as teens) Special needs just means that the child in question has special/or additional needs. I'm short sighted and need glasses or contacts in order to see as clearly as someone with 20-20 vision. This is a special need. Some children may need extra care when learning or a hearing aid or a speach box which are all special/additional needs.

What is it like to raise a child with special needs child?
Actually, I became a better parent to my children that are not special needs due to the parenting techniques I practiced with my oldest autistic child. Each special needs is different, but I found I took the time to detail and explain expectations better. I think we make an assumption with children that they understand consequences or how tohandle certain social situations, when actually, they learn trial & error. We assume a special needs child needs support to understand their environment and lessons so we take more time to and offer more patience. There is a huge benefit to offering all kids this level of training & support....and confidence!
