Although, when compared to the 1950s weak way of educating and catering to the “special needs” students, we see how poorly organized the special education system was in the older days. Thus, education institutions and the Government of Canada only allowed disabled students to join schools in the 1950s in a poorly organized segregated way due to the outrage caused by parents that wanted to have their kids to be educated too.

According to the author (Raymond, 2012), the perception of the students about the services they receive determine the outcome of the education efforts.

Conclusion After spending some time in both the general and special educational classrooms, I found there were similarities and differences between the two for example special needs students received more personalised care than their counterparts in both classrooms.
