Let’s check all the options

• Option (A) Diverse - Diverse means having variety or differences. Children with special needs are diverse in many ways, such as their abilities, personalities, interests, etc. However, diversity is not something that is no longer used to describe children with special needs. In fact, diversity is something that should be celebrated and respected among all children. So, this is incorrect
  
  
• Option (B) Disabled - Disabled means having a physical or mental condition that limits a person’s movements, senses, or activities. Children with special needs are often called disabled because they have some type of impairment that affects their functioning. However, disability is not something that defines a person’s identity or worth. Disability is also not something that is no longer used to describe children with special needs. In fact, disability is something that should be recognized and supported by providing reasonable accommodations and equal opportunities for all children⁴. So, this is correct
  
  
• Option (C) Prejudiced - Prejudiced means having an unfair and unreasonable opinion or feeling about someone based on their membership to a particular group. Children with special needs are sometimes faced with prejudice from others who do not understand or respect their differences. However, prejudice is not something that is used to describe children with special needs. In fact, prejudice is something that should be challenged and eliminated in society. So, this is incorrect
  
  
• Option (D) Unusual - Unusual means not common or ordinary; different from what is normal or expected. Children with special needs are sometimes seen as unusual by others who do not appreciate their diversity. However, unusual is not something that is no longer used to describe children with special needs. In fact, unusual is something that can be positive or negative depending on the context and perspective. So, this is incorrect .

Thus, option (B) is correct
