Education considerations
An educational program is developed with basic principles. Each principle is reviewed along with how this principle was applied to this unique group of students.
Summary
A student community health educational project was used to teach a group of school children with special health and educational needs. The basic principles of designing and implementing an educational program remained the same as for other audiences; however, modifications were made on the basis of this group's developmental, cognitive, social, and physical abilities. Although an actual evaluation was not completed for this project, recommendations are made for future programs.
