Can special needs kids get A*s on there exams

I was wondering if special need kids can get top marks?

It largely depends on what type of special needs they have. I myself have a major physical disability (Duchenne muscular dystrophy), and I get along quite well academically speaking. Of course, someone who has a disability which directly impacts their cognitive ability will struggle a lot more on achieving top marks. Needless to say, there are some disabilities which may impact mental ability to the extent where the person will simply not be able to succeed academically, and might not even be able to take part in standardised education. The generalised term 'special needs' is very broad, encompassing a large variety of handicaps and disabilities. At the end of the day, if the someone's special needs do not hinder their academic/cognitive ability, their success at school is a result of ability and motivation, just as with any other student (without 'special' needs).

Mine affects me of my understanding
