situations and helping the special students grow to
their full potential. These teachers require special
qualifications with highly-positive training
experiences.

for the teacher and child to reach a certain point,
resolve a certain issue or cater to a certain challenge
being faced by the child. These are also centered
around the child’s learning and growth based on
academic, behavioral, technical, social, and functional
aspects and so on.

1. Meeting Individual Needs and
challenges
 The teacher aims to meet the individual and specific
needs of a child facing difficulties in learning.
 For instance, for a child with deficits in speech, the
goal is to deliver speech and language therapy
sessions once a week to reach a point where the child
shows improvement in the same.
2. Enhance functional skills

 Often children with special needs struggle with most


basic functional skills. The goal here focuses on
working to make the child independent to perform
their daily chores.
 Letting the child walk up to their classroom
themselves and identifying it
 Buttoning their own shirt.
3. Facilitating and providing
Accommodations
 Special education teachers aim at ensuring that
students with special needs are provided enough and
appropriate accommodations in classrooms such as
modified work and assignments, allowance of
needed devices, extra time on tests, and so on.
4. Foster Relationships
 Building a warm and wholesome relationship with the child
is necessary as it helps students to find confidence, support,
and comfort. It also motivates students to try their best to
work on themselves and seek help with minimum
hesitation.
4. Foster Relationships
 Special education teachers also build good working
relationships with parents as they contribute as well. For
instance, goals to engage in fun activities once a month
outside the work environment with the child can be
included.
5. Track Progress
 The progress of students with special needs should be
tracked on a regular basis. Students and their skills
developed during providing special services should be
assessed and feedback about the student’s performance
shall be laid out.
5. Track Progress
 This is important for knowing whether or not the
interventions work and what should be modified in the
same. Checks every third week, roadmaps, and review
cycles can be examples of these. 
6. Improve classroom adjustment
 For children with special needs placed in a general or
inclusive classroom, it can be challenging to adjust to
the environment and cope with other students.
 For this, special educators must develop adjustment
and coping mechanisms for the students to adapt to
their classroom environment.
7. Enhance social skills
 Due to challenges faced by students in learning, their
confidence may take a toll and restrict them to reach out or
make friends in their classrooms.
 Inabilityto learn and so certain things may also bring down
their mood significantly leading to avoidance of any social
relationships.
8. Focus on emotion regulation
 Emotion regulation is as important as making interventions
in academics and other challenges faced because they are
affected significantly by other factors.
 Special Educators should include emotion regulation works
such as self-esteem building, coping mechanisms, life
skills, decision making, and so on.
9. Collaborate with General Educator
 Itis important for the special educator and general educator
to collaborate and work closely for the beneficial
development of the student, contributing to their growth.
 Here, the goal is to meet, plan and come up with strategies
together every now and then. A cycle can be maintained for
the same.
10. Maintain Paperwork
 Maintaining legal work and formalities is another goal of
special educators to ensure that their education is hustle-
free and even transition is smooth.
