Prepping With Special Needs
Special needs would be anything considered beyond normal, and the so-called normal is not the same for everyone or every family. Therefore, it is up to you as an individual or family to determine special needs when it comes to prepping.
Obvious special needs would include needed medications and syringes for diabetes. Prosthetics for loss of limbs and needed devices or service animals for those that have lost or have limited eyesight or other physical or mental disabilities that require special foods, medicines, medical devices, and even specialized living quarters.

You will need a plan to refrigerate medicines, such as insulin when the power goes out. Your typical 30 day supply of insulin that is administered through a needle can be kept out of refrigeration for 28 days but if you have a 90 day supply then the 60 day supply needs to be chilled.
You need a way of keeping it cool, and so you need a generator that can supply electricity to a refrigerator. Solar, wind, and hydropower are options, as well, but you will need a backup plan when there is no sun, wind, or running water strong enough to keep your refrigerator operating at the proper temperature.
You will need to discuss emergency planning with your primary care physician. If you obtain medicines on a monthly basis then you would have at the most a 30-day supply if something were to happen. If the crisis strikes two weeks after obtaining your medicines, however, then you only have a 14-day supply on hand, this may not be

Narcotics for pain, for example, cannot be written for more than 30 days at a time, and only after a revisit to your doctor, in most instances.
Discuss your concerns with your doctor. They are well aware of the problems associated with emergencies and obtaining medications during such.
You always have to keep in mind that if you or someone else needs "it" now to survive, then it is needed to survive during a crisis. You know what is needed now, so you have to plan to have it during a power outage, or when the SHTF and the stores and hospitals are shut down.
You have to consider power for any equipment you need, batteries for devices, and a way to charge those batteries and how much do you need of essential medical items, how many days of medicines, of special foods for diabetics and for those with high blood pressure or ulcers for example.
If you can purchase what you need now, then you need to buy extra for emergencies. This has to be a priority because it is a matter of life and
According the the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an emergency operations plan (EOP) dictates “who will do what, as well as when, with what resources, and by what authority--before, during, and immediately after an emergency” (FEMA, 1996). An effective EOP should contain a plan for all the potential disasters for a given region. These disasters would include natural disasters, man-man disasters including terrorist attacks, chemical weapon attacks and even nuclear war. The intent of the EOP is to publish a document intended to minimize the impact of the disaster, save lives while offering a path to recovery. In simple terms, an EOP “is the playbook by...

Federal and state laws, as well as mandates, now require schools to educate all children with disabilities in the least restrictive environment, to the maximum extent possible. The least restrictive environment is considered to be the general or the “regular” education classroom. The preferred language of today is the term “general education classroom”, because using the word “regular” implies that special education rooms would then be considered ‘irregular”. Schools are also bound by law to provide “a full continuum of services” which simply means they need to be able to provide all placement options, from the least restrictive to the most restrictive environment, such as an institution. Each special needs student also has an individualized education plan to meet their unique needs.
Special education is a program set up for kids with special needs that need help. You can be in this program from the day you are born till you are 21 years of age. These kids range from a lot of disabilities like as little as a problem as paying attention to as big as having a handicapped disability. Each student has their own file. And being a part of special education you have to be organized and you have to know what you are doing. You have a bunch of paperwork you have to redo each year. Special Education helps with numerous areas of disability. Each kid has to have a goal they should “reach,” if the goal they had does not get reached that next year when they reevaluate the IEP and set a different goal.
The scientific principle behind how a refrigerator actually works is quite basic. The refrigerator uses the evaporation of a liquid to absorb heat. This liquid is often known as the refrigerant, and when used in the refrigerator, evaporates at a fairly low temperature. This causes the cold temperatures within.
I interviewed a woman who has a child with special needs. The child is now in kindergarten. The mother reported having a normal pregnancy with no complications. This was the second child for the mother, who has another child who was five years old at the time. The mother disclosed that during the pregnancy, she was in the process of separating from the child’s father and that this caused a moderate level of stress. At the time of the pregnancy, the mother was also working full time as a waitress in a local restaurant. The mother reported that her job required her to be on her feet for long periods of time. She was able to work until around a week before her child was born. The mother reports that the child was born around two weeks early but that labor was easy and the child was born healthy.

Special education is the practice of educating students with special educational needs by addressing their individual needs and differences. This process involves the individually planned arrangements of teaching procedures, adapted materials and equipment, as well as accessible settings designed to help students with special needs to achieve a higher level of education and success. Usually parents who have a child with special needs would like for their child to receive a quality education. People understand when talking about or describing a child with special needs that the child has educational needs, or has learning difficulties or disabilities, for instance it is harder for them to learn than other children. When my oldest son was in 7th grade, he was a little slow to understand when the teacher was lecturing, he was behind in class work and he missed some homework.
What is special education? The definition of special education is complex and varies from state to state. The purpose of special education is to provide students with disabilities specially designed instruction to help them meet and reach their full potential. Special Education requires continuing planning, assessing, and monitoring of goals and curriculum used to meet their needs. To understand the importance of special education, we will look at the history of education and treatment of individuals with disabilities. What we now call general education has been around for nearly four hundred years. John Cotton established the first school in 1635 where Latin and Greek was taught. Even with the establishment of schools, many students were taught
Someone working with special needs children should be aware of the many factors that contribute to a child’s improvement. Although there are many factors, some of the main ones include the child’s social interaction, environment, and also overall health.
Special education can be defined form so many perspectives, but the general one is the services provided from the society to others, especially kids with different abilities.
Special Education is the education of students with special needs in a way that addresses the students’ individual differences and needs. And it is a specially designed instruction that meets the needs of students with disabilities as they attend to school, it also includes related services and supplementary aids and services. It helps every student with disabilities to have a chance to learn and showcase their own talent and intelligence. Without these students, Special Education wouldn’t be an organization or community who are willing to help these students with disabilities to learn and to attain their needs.
