INNOVATIVE TEACHING APPROACHES OF TEACHERS IN TEACHING STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: A CASE STUDY

This case study explores innovative teaching approaches used by educators in teaching students with special needs (SNED), examining their impact and the challenges encountered during implementation. Through thematic analysis, four key approaches emerged: multi-sensory instruction, differentiated instruction, technology integration, and interactive play-based instruction. These approaches were found to significantly influence SNED by enhancing engagement, improving learning outcomes, and promoting overall well-being. Nevertheless, challenges such as resource limitations, technological constraints, and the imperative for sustained creativity and engagement were identified. Recommendations entail prioritizing investment in educator resources and training, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, and addressing identified challenges through targeted interventions and policy initiatives. Future studies should prioritize longitudinal research to assess long-term effectiveness, delve into tailored instructional strategies for specific SNED subgroups, examine stakeholder perspectives, and conduct comparative analyses across diverse educational settings and cultural contexts. By addressing these recommendations, we can advance inclusive education practices and ensure equitable opportunities for all students with special needs. This study underscores the significance of innovative teaching approaches in SNED and calls for continued support and resources to overcome challenges and foster inclusive educational environments.
