Concept of Exceptional Children

·        Exceptional children are those who deviate significantly from the normal ones.

·        Telford and Sawery (1977):-“The term exceptional children refers to those children who deviate from the normal in physical, mental, emotional or social characteristics to such degree that they require special social and educational services to develop their maximum capacity”.
