The Special Needs Child from the Montessori Perspective

Ms Vaz, AMI trainer and member of the AMI Special Needs ad hoc committee, talks about the challenges and opportunities of receiving children with special needs, whatever they be into the Montessori classroom. She recognizes that there are many special programmes with fancy names that are put together to help special children. Ms Vaz argues that it is, however, the Montessori school by definition which is best equipped to assist special needs children in their development.
