The thing about the term special needs is that it can mean a handful of things. Some needs simply challenge one element of your life. As for others, they require you to learn a new normal. There are several categories when it comes to special needs. The two we intend to focus on here are physical and sensory-impaired.

Physical

A person could develop this need as they get older or they may be born with it. If someone is born with a disability they could possess the innate ability to adjust to all the things that surround them. Or they may develop this ability as they grow older. However, a person that develops a physical disability shall have to learn a new normal. This could mean finding a new way of doing a variety of things. Examples of physical needs include limb differences, cerebral palsy, and also multiple sclerosis.

Sensory-impaired special needs

This includes being hearing and sight-impaired. There is also a sensory processing disorder. Here, a person struggles to receive and respond to sensory information. This type of disorder can be a symptom of another special need such as MS or dyslexia. On the other hand, it can be a disorder in its own right.

You can help these people with communication and learning. To do so, you can use social and technological advancements. Examples include adaptive equipment and auxiliary aids. They also need the very best support.
