18 Things Special Education Teachers Want Parents to Know

"I became a special education teacher because in college I had a job tutoring a young girl with autism. The experience was so challenging and rewarding and I discovered I had good patience and was excited about even the smallest successes that I knew it was the job for me. I am driven to help kids succeed because I enjoy solving the mystery of how each student can be the best he or she can be. Finding the key to success is a thrill for the students, their families, and myself." — KP
