About
Special Education
Teachers
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.
