Question

The most appropriate term to refer to the children with special needs is

Answer 1

according to me it is "disabled "

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 'disabled'.  

Explanation:

Over the years, society has in general, become more sensitive towards individuals suffering from various disabilities. The words that were used earlier, are now considered insensitive. (In fact, Brainly has stringent rules in place and the system is not allowing me to type in those words  as examples in this answer. )Even the word ‘challenged’ is considered rude. The words that are more acceptable now include ‘physically impaired’, ‘mentally impaired’ and ‘disabled’. ‘Disabled’ is more of an umbrella term that covers the physical and mental aspects including learning disabilities without being specific. Therefore, it is the politest way of referring to children and individuals with special needs.
