That is how special education is defined by Wikipedia. Such heavy words that sounded too complex if it is put into action. That is the job of a special education teacher. A profession that requires more than a Bachelor's degree, but the heart and determination to cause change in the lives of the people they work with. The work of a special education teacher demands utmost patience, persevering determination to help students learn and improve, but not necessarily highly compensated.
