Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Special education teachers work with children and youths who have a variety of disabilities. A small number of special education teachers work with students with mental retardation or autism, primarily teaching them life skills and basic literacy. However, the majority of special education teachers work with children with mild to moderate disabilities, using the general education curriculum, or modifying it, to meet the child’s individual needs. Most special education teachers instruct students at the elementary, middle, and secondary school level, although some teachers work with infants and toddlers. The various types of disabilities that qualify individuals for special education programs include specific learning disabilities, speech or language impairments, mental retardation, emotional disturbance, multiple disabilities, hearing impairments, orthopedic impairments, visual impairments, autism, combined deafness and blindness, traumatic brain injury, and other health impairments. Students are classified under one of the categories, and special education teachers are prepared to work with specific groups. Early identification of a child with special needs is an important part of a special education teacher’s job. Early intervention is essential in educating children with disabilities.

In a letter clarifying the Department of Education's position on both issues, Riley told the leaders of several advocacy organizations the department does not support simply shifting the responsibility of educating students with disabilities from special ed. teachers to their general ed. counterparts. "Nothing could be further from the truth," Riley told Council for Exceptional Children Executive Director Nancy Safer, National Education Association President Robert Chase, American Federation of Teachers President Sandra Feldman, and Council of Administrators of Special Education chiefs Jonathan McIntire and Judy Montgomery. Riley's letter came in response to the organizations' criticism of the Department's "20th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of IDEA."

This joint publication of NICHCY and NCPSE is intended to open a window into the world of the special educator and answer the questions: who are special educators, why have they chosen this profession, what kind of training do they have, what do they do each day, what do they enjoy about their jobs, and why do some of them leave special education? Also discussed in this publication are the people who support special educators, namely paraeducators, often known as "teacher's aides." The role of parents is addressed as well, and suggestions are provided for supporting the valuable work that special educators do on behalf of our children with special needs.
