An outcome of special education: A case study of High school dyslexic children

The present study focuses on the outcome of special education of dyslexic children. It measured the amount of learning and improvement in reading and writing ability. The tests were conducted on reading, writing, spelling, maths and drawing in both Hindi and English language. Research method: The data was collected from one of the schools of Delhi. This school had both mainstream school as well as a special section running for special children. The random data was collected from 30 special children with various disorders like slow learning, ADD and ADHD, Autism, cerebral palsy, mentally retarded and dyslexia. The age group was 14-15 years. These were the students of class ninth. Data was collected through a questionnaire method and a short conversation. The questionnaire contained separate tests on reading, writing, spelling, maths and drawing. The select samples were one female and one male dyslexic children in the age group of 15 years. These two case studies will be discussed in detail. Conclusion: Children with different types of disorder study together in the same classroom apart from the main stream school. It’s amazing to see that special educators really manage well with these children.  It is difficult for children with different disabilities to sit together and study.  The children behave well in front of the teacher. Since every child needs a special attention, it becomes a big challenge for teachers to cope up with. The result of the Dyslexic child was outstanding. She was able to read longer words with bi-syllabic words as well as tri-syllabic. But she had problems with reading longer Hindi words. It was observed that there was a lot of difference between her class performance and performance in tests. She did extremely well in the exam like the controlled subject. Her problem was mostly with reading longer words.
