Special education
Occupational therapy is a newly introduced health care system in Bangladesh which works in special settings of special education. In many cases this special setting can be made at home for the disabled. Special means that type of education, which meets all necessary things with special equipment, environment, management, techniques, aids and also methods for dealing with the special child. A child learns by seven senses that are tactile, visual, auditory, vestibule, gustatory, taste and proprioception when these senses are properly integrated. All sensations are properly integrated when they get proper stimulation and environment. An Occupational Therapist works with hypo or hyper responsive child who cannot learn in the normal environment. So an Occupational Therapist helps to make a special environment and a special education programme.
We know that it is easy to say but difficult to do. Though it would be very difficult to ensure proper education for the disabled, but we have to start now.
