They create and implement Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that outline the student's specific learning needs and the goals they are to reach. These educators also adapt lessons to ensure that all students, regardless of their abilities, can comprehend and engage with the curriculum. They work closely with parents, school administrators, and other teachers to monitor the student's progress and adjust the teaching methods and IEPs as needed.

They should have a deep understanding of different learning disabilities and know how to adapt teaching methods to meet individual needs. Certifications required may vary by location, but typically, they should have a bachelor's degree in special education, child psychology, or a related field. Many states also require licensing or certification in special education. Before becoming a Special Education Teacher, a person may have roles such as a Teacher Assistant, Special Education Paraprofessional, or an Inclusion Support Facilitator to gain relevant experience and skills.
