erinõuetega

erinõuetega is an Estonian term that translates to "with special requirements" or "with specific needs." It is commonly used in educational and social contexts to describe individuals who require additional support or tailored approaches due to unique circumstances.

In education, erinõuetega students may have learning disabilities, physical impairments, developmental delays, or giftedness that necessitates differentiated instruction and specialized resources. Schools are mandated to identify and provide appropriate support services to these students, often through individual education plans or personalized learning strategies. This can include access to special education teachers, therapists, assistive technology, or modified curricula.

Beyond education, the term can also apply to individuals in social services who may have specific needs related to mental health, chronic illness, or social disadvantages. The goal is to ensure these individuals receive the necessary assistance to live fulfilling lives and participate fully in society. The concept emphasizes a person-centered approach, acknowledging that everyone's needs are different and that meeting these needs effectively requires flexibility and individualized planning.
