What makes you think it was a pun? Special needs in the sense you appear to be using it is a relatively new term as a more PC replacement. I'm still not sure how referring to special needs education is any different from special education. But then I am still confused by the swing from disabled being demeaning to being a preferred term.
For many people, special needs can refer to anything from wanting a vegan meal at a business conference, being supplied with an external optical drive for their new laptop or the ever popular why can't the computer read my mind instead of doing what I told it to.
