Special education teachers work with children who have disabilities. These children may have learning disabilities, mental retardation, autism, visual and hearing disabilities, physical disabilities, ADHD or emotional and psychological disturbances. SpEd teachers must be patient and knowledgeable of techniques and proper ways to handle children with disabilities. The demands for such professions are increasing due to the new ways discovered to treat and handle these special and gifted children.
