Special education teachers are educators who specialize in working with students who have a variety of learning disabilities, emotional challenges, or physical disabilities. They create tailored lesson plans and teaching strategies to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring that all learners can access the curriculum effectively. These teachers often collaborate with other professionals, such as speech therapists and school psychologists, to provide comprehensive support. They also work closely with families to help them understand their child's needs and progress, fostering a supportive environment both at school and at home.
