Physically handicapped education
The physically handicapped pedagogy is a specialty of special education , which in turn is a specialty of general pedagogy . It deals with special educational as well as didactic-methodological issues of upbringing, education and rehabilitation, especially of children and adolescents who have special educational needs due to a physical disability . The didactics tailored to the “developmental characteristics of physically handicapped children” is “less of a 'special' didactics” than “rather a highly differentiated general didactics of school support”. In this respect, pedagogy for the physically handicapped modifies general pedagogy in didactic and methodological terms and supplements it with a view to the different rehabilitative learning needs of its target groups. In Germany it is possible to study this subject at universities with a Magister, Master's degree or teaching qualification for special needs education.
