Eripedagoogilise

Eripedagoogilise refers to the field and approach within pedagogy that focuses on education for individuals with disabilities or other special educational needs. In practice, it covers the identification of learning difficulties, developmental issues, and other factors that affect schooling, as well as the development and delivery of tailored instruction and supports. The aim is to enable participation in the general curriculum and to promote the learner’s social, emotional, and academic development.

Key aspects of eripedagoogilise work include assessment, planning, and instruction that are individualized to each learner. This often involves creating or adapting curricula, using differentiated teaching methods, and providing accommodations such as modified materials, assistive technologies, flexible pacing, and extended time. Multidisciplinary collaboration is common, with input from teachers, school psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists, as well as families and caregivers.

Settings for eripedagoogilise practice range from inclusive classrooms where learners with diverse needs are educated alongside peers, to dedicated special education environments. The overarching objective is to maximize learning outcomes while supporting students’ inclusion and participation in school life. Professional preparation for practitioners in this field typically emphasizes pedagogy, psychology, disability studies, and adaptive technologies, along with ongoing professional development to reflect evolving educational policies and evidence-based practices.

Historically, eripedagoogilise approaches have evolved from segregated models toward inclusive education, emphasizing rights-based access to education and individualized support. Today, the field integrates assessment, planning, and intervention to address a wide range of learning and developmental needs. See also special education and inclusive education.
