As specified by the source, persons with special needs refer to the group of people whose physical and/or mental development disabilities impede their education attainment without creating special conditions. A disability status is assigned after a medical examination to people whose health disorders, caused by diseases, injuries, or disabilities, limit their daily life activities and cause the need of their social protection. Using that classification, people with special needs may or may not have a disability status, while people with a disability status may or may not have special needs.
