I just found out my brother has special needs
What type of special needs? Common ones are learning disabilities, emotional, behavioral, physical ones like cerebal palsy, it is a varied topic
It's a learning disability. What can you tell me about them?
I know that difficulty learning in a typical manner is still considered a disability, so it can really exclude your ability to learn differently
That would make sense. How do people go around education someone with special needs?
Special education
Special education (also known as special-needs education, aided education, exceptional education, special ed. or SPED) is the practice of educating students in a way that addresses their individual differences and needs. Ideally, this process involves the individually planned and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, and accessible settings. These interventions are designed to help individuals with special needs achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success in school and in their community which may not be available
in special fields. Some schools accommodate students with disability under traditional school settings, but in certain cases, students are placed in independent schools specialized in special needs education program. This program supports students with visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical disability, emotional behavioral disorder, learning disabilities, speech-language impairment (communication disorder), health impairment and development delay. 
Disability Reforms.
Children with disabilities, along with their parents, did not have a voice until in the 1990s when special needs education started to receive public attention
