It really depends on the level of special needs this child has. I'm all for helping them integrate with the class and have another child as an aide if they are a minor case. Someone brought up tourettes, I had a friend in school who had tourettes, had shrugs and twitches, but he functioned okay otherwise (no worse than the rest of us). But I've been in another class with a kid who should have got an aide and it was a constant disruption to the class, one time he stabbed another kids hand with a pencil, he would scream and yell, and once he tried to throw his desk at the teacher, there was a daily occurrence. Depending on the level of disruption there are different courses of action needed. Without knowing more about the OP situation its impossible to say what should be done.
