A K-12 student with a disability that is learning in class typically has a special education teacher close by teaching him or her. Because of the critical role he or she plays in the educational experience of students with disabilities, a Special Education teacher needs continual training to keep abreast of the latest techniques and innovations.  Teaching children with disabilities requires college level Special Education Teacher training.  Additionally, teaching a child with a disability calls for a unique skillset and knowledge.  Throughout their career, teachers will take on the life-long commitment of learning about disabilities and training to improve and hone their teaching skills. Hence, disability teaching requires the instructor to take the role of the student in order to achieve their responsibilities as a successful Special Education teacher.  

To be successful in today’s educational environment, and to teach students with disabilities, continuous professional development is necessary.  Of course, disability learning resources are no substitute for experience.  However, education classes and professional development can be supplemented with cost effective multi-media tools, DVDs and training.  Program Development Associates Disability Teacher Training Store has a large variety of resources focused on disabilities, teacher education, as well as teacher aids.
