Special education teachers are dedicated, focused, have superior organizational skills, above-average physical strength and are able to work closely with a wide variety of different professionals making up an intervention, collaboration or interdisciplinary team. This team ensures the student receives the appropriate support and accommodations to be a successful learner. The team often includes the classroom teacher, special education teacher, speech and language pathologist, occupational therapist, nurse, child and youth worker, physical therapists, and parents or guardians.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1404″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1396″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Traditional teachers lecture, use blackboards/whiteboards, overhead projectors, and handouts. Research has found that these methods do not meet the needs of all students. Even students without disabilities struggle in this traditional classroom setting. They need a variety of learning materials and tools such as visual aids and strategies, hands-on projects, experiments based on real-world experiences and logical examples to link new learning to ideas they already understand. Special Education students also need meaningful visual aids and strategies and multisensory learning materials, as well as flexible testing methods that allow students to show what they’ve learned in ways that feel comfortable to them.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1531″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1398″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Disruption in routine and unexpected situations occurs in every school day, which often results in undesired behaviour.
