• who deviate significantly from the normal children in respect to social, mental, physical, and emotional characteristics.

• who show deviations falling far above or extremely below from the average which limits their participation in normal activities.

• Gifted children: It refers to the children who perform tasks extraordinarily when compared with others of their peer group. They are independent in their judgments as they possess advanced logical and creative thinking.
• Slow learners: These are those children who are low in achieving academic skills and often ignored by others as dull, lazy, or inept as a part of the school setting. Slow learners not only lag behind other students in academics but in areas of social, emotional, and psychological well-being.
• Physically handicapped learner: These categories of children can not participate in educational, social, and vocational activities on fairly equal terms with their peers due to physical disabilities.
• Disabled child: Disabled children are again divided into different groups based on types of disabilities. They can be learning, cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical, sensory, or some combination of these.
