The experiment was conducted for a period of 2 weeks. A sample of 60 students was selected by using a random sampling technique. An achievement test was used to test the learning outcomes of children with special needs. The control group was taught through traditional teaching methods and multimedia strategy was used to teach to Experimental group. The data from the achievement test was analyzed and a significant difference was observed between the learning outcomes of the Experimental group and the Control group when multimedia learning strategy was used to teach an experimental group. It was also observed that multimedia learning strategy is beneficial for both kinds of children with special needs (Hearing impaired and Speech impaired).
