Teachers - Special Education will assess the abilities and potential of students requiring a specific study program using a variety of tests and other forms of assessment. They will plan special courses of study to meet the needs of students and will teach academic subjects and practical self-help skills using various methods and aids to assist in the education and rehabilitation process. They will develop and adapt the curriculum to make it relevant for students with disability and will observe students to evaluate and record their progress and to detect signs of developmental disorders, ill health or emotional disturbance. They will work closely with other professionals, including guidance officers, speech therapists and psychologists and will also promote health and safety concepts and social interaction with other students. They will assist students with toileting, feeding and other personal matters (this may require lifting the students) and discuss aspects of students' development with parents and other educators. They will discuss the aims of the education program as a whole with parents and will participate in community activities and on school committees.
