It can only make sense that individuals with special needs and care go to schools that provide such needs. The teachers in these special schools seem to be extra accommodating when compared to their counterparts in regular schools.

Before you decide to become a special education teacher, spend some time working with special needs children. There are many different types of disabilities, and sometimes you can enjoy working with one group but not another. Ask yourself, do you want to teach children life skills? Do you want to help children with learning disabilities, emotional disabilities, profound and multiple disabilities? Can you handle kids who spit on you, hit you, call you names, and still keep your cool? Not everyone is cut out for it. You will need at least a bachelor’s degree in special education and time spent as a student teacher.
Special education teachers possess skills that go beyond their certifications. Many teachers at Special Schools have Special Education qualifications. However, many of the older teachers and most of those who retired in the last ten years had no official qualifications. Special Education teachers are usually very calm and patient. They would ideally be friendly and accepting because they deal with a wide range of children, parents, staff, community members and administrators. A clear voice and pleasant demeanour are helpful, and they must think quickly in some circumstances. These are a collection of very organized and creative people for whom I have a great deal of respect for.
