Socio-Emotional Problems of the Individuals with Special Educational Needs Dr. Priti Chaudhari* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract In a country like ours, the systems and convenience are generally designed to meet the needs of the normal persons only. Our telephones, transport, banking systems and even elevators are not designed to be used by the people with physical problems independently. Whereas in the developed countries, the systems have been designed keeping in mind the needs of the individuals with Special Educational Needs (SEN). For example, the lifts in public places in advanced countries have switches that are marked with Braille for the convenience of the people having visual impairment. The public buses have steps which can be lowered so that even persons on wheel chair can enter. There are special telephones available for individuals with hearing problems. Thus, the system not designed according to the needs of the individuals with SEN cause difficulties when they use these systems. This makes daily living of these people more strenuous. They encounter anxiety, fear, isolation and trauma caused by their problems or society or by both. A person’s with SENs, role, status and behaviour in society is very much influenced by interpersonal behaviour, impression formation, liking etc. shown by other members of the society. The sympathetic responses, the negative or hostile reactions or indifferences in behaviour shown by others influence the attitude of handicapped persons towards the society. This results in the form of withdrawal, maladjustment and non participation in the social world. A physical problem leads to other problems only when the individual accepts it as a condition of inadequacy. The problems of individuals with SEN, mainly physical and visual are more due to learned helplessness reinforced by the individual and social factors. Indeed organ inferiority is not a barrier to realizing the potentials of an individual. The individual and the society should learn to accept the organ inferiority as one of the several individual differences seen among people. The inferiority should be accepted in proper perspective. Individuals with SEN have the same social and emotional needs as normal individuals. Individuals with SEN face a number of problems because of their physical problems, other’s reactions to their physical problem and faulty attitudes of family and society in general. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Associate Professor in, Department of Education, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Udhna Magdalla Road, Surat – 395007, Email Id – zinki_1980@yahoo.co.in
