Isn't every kid special? We think so, but what do we (signify / intend / mean) when we say
"kids with special needs"? This means any kid (whose / who/which) might need extra help
(because of / because / for) a medical, emotional, or learning problem. These kids have special
needs because they might need medicine, therapy, or (less/extra/little) help in school. A kid
who has an illness, such as epilepsy, diabetes, or cerebral palsy, would have special needs.
They might need (medicine / food / drinks) or other help as they go about their daily activities.
Kids (of / have / with) sight problems might need Braille books to read. Kids with hearing or
speech problems would have special needs, too. A kid who has hearing trouble might need
hearing (aids / machines / headphones) to hear and speech training, too, since it can be (easy
/ logical / hard) to say words correctly when you can't hear very well.
