N2  - "A mental disability is a cognitive or psychological condition that limits a major life activity in some way or requires special services. Mental disabilities can be caused by biological factors, environmental factors, substance abuse or brain trauma. Mental disorders can affect classroom learning, such as poor attendance, difficulties with academic performance, poor social integration, trouble adjusting to school, problems with behavior regulation, and attention and concentration issues, all of which is critical to the success of the student. The community at large is often unaware of the potential of children with special needs. In the popular mind, special needs are usually identified with very low expectations. Parent should believe in the value of educating children with special needs. The higher the expectations, the higher will be their acceptance in the family. A child with an intellectual disability can do well in school but is likely to need the individualized help that's available as special education and related services. The level of help and support that's needed will depend upon the degree of intellectual disability involved. Inclusive education encourages all children to learn successfully regardless of disability, learning difficulty, or any other feature. The present comprehensive book provides an integrated, transdisciplinary overview on educating mentally disabled"-- Back cover
