General Overview
Special education teachers assist students who may have “behavioural, communicational, intellectual, physical or multiple exceptionalities”, to be able to help students and gain from their time during school (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2014). Special education teachers teach school subjects to students who have an exceptionality or type of handicap. For example, “teachers who specialize and work with audibly and visually handicapped students and those who teach basic academic and life processes skills to the mentally impaired” (O*Net Online, 2013). In addition, “instructors and teachers of persons with disabilities teach children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities communication techniques, such as Braille or sign language, and rehabilitation skills to increase independence and mobility” (Service Canada, 2013).
