IntroductionSpecial education courses have emerged as an important factor especially for thestudents who have disabilities and for those who have been facing issues in studying in aproper manner. It is noted that the children who born with disabilities suffers more than thosewho have privilege of learning and did not born with disabilities (Brownell et al. 2010).Therefore, it is important for the schools especially for the elementary schools to offer specialcourses for the development of the children with disabilities (Case-Smith & O'Brien 2013).From the survey it is found that there are very few schools that offer education for the disablepeople. Thus, different elementary schools in Texas are conducting different programs thatcan help the disable children to learn faster and lead a better life. The Cockrell Elementary issuch a school, which is conducting special programs to help the disable and needy people. Inthe following report detail about the special program, which is carried out by CockrellElementary has been discussed. 1.1 Cockrell ElementaryWhile discussing bout the special program conducted by the Cockrell Elementary, itis important to have some basic knowledge about the school and their vision.

Chosen Program Several programs are undertaken by the Cockrell Elementary to help the students andaccomplish their vision. However, one of the best mission or program undertaken by theCockrell Elementary is to educate the children with disabilities. Therefore, the programchosen for this report is “Educating children with problems- A shared responsibility.” Thisprogram will be conducted with the students of Cockrell Elementary school, Texas, where100 students will be considered for teaching for a timeline of 6 months.2.1. History of the Program From past five years the Cockrell Elementary is arranging “Educating children withproblems- A shared responsibility” program. It is found that in every year this program isconducted with efficiency and the children with disabilities as well as the children within thisschool are benefited from the program. The numbers of the participants (disables children) inthis program are increasing rapidly. In the year of 2011, the Cockrell Elementary started theirventure to teach the students with disabilities with only 15 participants. From the report it canbe estimated that this year this school is going to have more than 50 participants. From theincreasing number of the participants it can be said that the Cockrell Elementary has gainedsuccess in their mission so far. In 2011, there were only 20 volunteer helpers including thechildren of the Cockrell Elementary. However, in the current year it can be expected thatthere will be more than 100 volunteers who will join to teach as well help the students withdisabilities.

On the other hand 30 per cent of the budget is allotted to educate the children howto maintain themselves, such as taking care of their wounds, special types of bathing and theadministration of the emergency drugs.
