Answer 3

It depends on the needs and the disabilities you are working with.

It also depends on how much you enjoy working with kids.  I have worked with kids who had special needs and disabilities (autism, Downs syndrome, paralysis, auditory problems, etc. I loved the kids, so the challenge was worthwhile and fulfilling.

The most difficult, however, were some of the severely autistic kids. It was difficult in the sense that, I got physically assaulted (head butted, hair pulled, scratched) a couple of times.
