Today the world has touched new pinnacles of education and  is progressing in every field of education. Similarly it is rising in spreading its wings in the field of special education as well.

Earlier special children were not accepted and they were kept separate from the normal children today the parents are not only accepting their children with their special needs rather they have become so aware that they wish to bring their children and include them in the mainstream in as many ways as possible.

Because of this awareness and inspiration of parents the special education segment has taken a new boom and there is a high demand for special educators. As of now whether it is a mainstream school government, school special school or Sarva Shiksha abhiyan where ever we see there is a high demand for special educators.

Parents who realize even a slightest gap in the learning abilities of their children try and seek assistance from special educators. There seems to be a huge gap between the demand for and supply of special educator thus it has become pertinent for Apex School of Education to take a stride towards this area and bridge the gap for benefit of the masses.
