Question

Can anyone tell me their experience with this job?

Answer 1

You need a lot of patience and be familiar with the difficulties/ needs of your students. Children with disabilities have conditions that prevent them from having regular educational experiences. Some may have attention disorders or emotional disturbances that affect their learning. Others may have neurologically based learning disabilities. Still others, may have social deficits that negatively affect academic performance. You need patience, understanding, and creativity to do well in this job. You should be the biggest cheerleader/advocate for your students.
