Abstract

This study looks at the effects of instructional practices on the academic and social results of children receiving special education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The goal is to develop effective teaching practices that will improve the academic success and experiences of children with special needs. The study included 225 special education instructors from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; 220 completed a survey, while five others were interviewed to learn more about their experiences with various teaching philosophies. The study investigates how special education teachers educate, how it affects students' skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), and how it affects children's social development. The obstacles that special education teachers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa face are also discussed. The findings of this study will aid the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa special education community by identifying effective teaching practices for improving the academic achievement and social development of students with special needs. The findings could help to boost special education projects not only in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but also elsewhere in Pakistan and possibly overseas.
