special needs child
Differently developing youngster
A special needs child is a child who requires additional support due to physical, developmental, behavioral, or learning differences.
The term encompasses conditions from autism to physical disabilities to chronic illness.
It emerged as a gentler alternative to clinical labels, though some now find it euphemistic: programs for special needs children, raising a special needs child.
