| Abstract |
This study aims to suggest an optimal approach to constructing an ideal special school for physically challenged children. Study results can be summarized as follows: Firstly, other nations' special schools considering characteristics of each physically challenged child from the start of planning. To the contrary, domestic special schools mainly depend on a uniform plan in accordance with relevant regulations such as 『Special School Facilities and Equipment Standards Ordinance』not reflecting characteristics of each physically challenged child to construction. Secondly, ward corridors (double corridor) are effective to special schools for visually challenged children because they can provide clear localization. Redundant corridors with segmentation available are suited for children suffering from social and emotional development problem. Circle and Star types are ideal for physically challenged children. Thirdly, since detailed standards of convenient facilities mainly focus on physically challenged children under current relevant laws and regulations, students with other kinds of troubles cannot enjoy benefits from convenient facilities. Last but not least, it is necessary to actively perform support center for special schools. |
