Characteristics of Exceptional Students
Creative, Talented, and specially-abled children come in the category of Exceptional. These individuals have unique traits and characteristics generally determined by the environmental factors which make them fundamentally different from the "norm". These people are supposed to learn, perceive and adjust in ways that are unique to them.
The term exceptional children include children who experience difficulties in learning behavioral, emotional and social problems. Children with physical disabilities or sensory impairments and children who are intelligentially gifted or have a special talent so that special education is necessary to help them to fulfil their potential.
Exceptional children are those for whom uniform educational programs do not suit them hence they need special instructional programs for ancillary services or both. Exceptionality is manifested by performance i.e. superior and inferior to that of the average children. They deviate from the average people in both directions plus and minus of mean physically. Psychologically or socially these deviations are significant to such an extent that their adjustment with the "Norm" in some situations becomes difficult.
