February 21 2024- The International Day of Education on January 24th is marked by a sobering reality for thousands of children with severe intellectual disabilities who continue to be isolated, their learning needs unmet by an educational system designed for different learning styles. While some resources focus on disabilities like learning disabilities, sensory issues, or social challenges, children with severe intellectual disabilities often require a unique approach and supervision that is harder to find.
