This study looked at a kid with special educational needs' cognitive, emotional, social, and physical strengths and limitations, as well as their family's experiences and coping mechanisms. The child's cognitive strengths included normal thinking ability, strong listening abilities, and creative reading, while his limitations included a hatred of writing and difficulties following orders. Emotionally, the youngster demonstrated awareness, decisiveness, and sensitivity, but battled with excessive emotional responses and discriminating between feelings. Social habits varied from friendliness to aloofness, with difficulties interacting and adjusting to novel environments. Physically, the boy was hyperactive and athletic, but he suffered from heart problems and speech challenges. Parental experiences demonstrated resilience in dealing with academic and social hurdles, with benefits such as shared delight and treatment assistance, as well as difficulties such as behavioral control and resource allocation. School interactions showed discrepancies, stressing the need of inclusive policies. Families coped by budgeting, accepting, comprehending the child's condition, and cultivating a good attitude. The research emphasized the necessity of specialized education programs, picturing a future of independence and learning for the kid, backed up by strong community and family connections. It advised that instructors use specialized teaching tactics that are adapted to each child's specific profile.
