Engaging multiple senses during learning creates a more effective educational experience for children with special needs. Personalized tutoring, especially in one-on-one settings, allows for tailored instruction that meets individual student needs. The importance of a structured approach in education cannot be overstated, as it helps students build mastery in various skills. Challenges in traditional education systems often necessitate external tutoring for students with specialized learning requirements. Empowerment through small achievements is crucial for building self-esteem in students with learning disabilities.
