    Eclampsia is a medical condition that occurs during pregnancy and is characterized by seizures, high blood pressure, and organ damage. It is not a special need in education because it does not directly affect a student's ability to learn or participate in educational activities. On the other hand, cerebral palsy, emotional disorders, and communication disorders are all special needs that can impact a student's learning and require specific accommodations and support in an educational setting.

This model is based on the idea that a student's performance should be compared to their peers or expected level of achievement. If there is a significant difference or discrepancy between the student's performance and what is expected, it may indicate a learning disability or need for intervention. The teacher plays a crucial role in identifying this discrepancy and determining the appropriate interventions or support for the student.

    • Segregation

    • Customization

    • Inclusion

    • Mainstreaming

    Correct Answer
    A. Customization

Segregation refers to the practice of isolating students with disabilities in separate classrooms or schools, while inclusion promotes the integration of students with disabilities into regular education classrooms. Mainstreaming involves placing students with disabilities in regular education classrooms for part of the day and providing additional support as needed. Customization, on the other hand, is not a recognized approach in special education and does not involve adapting or modifying educational programs for students with disabilities.
