What Are Special Schools? Special schools are educational institutions specifically designed to cater to students who have physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments. These schools provide tailored curriculums, specialized teaching strategies, and therapeutic support that regular schools often cannot.

Special schools are that greenhouse, providing a safe, nurturing space for children who need a little extra help to bloom.
