Special education tutors help students with mild to severe cognitive, emotional, or physical disabilities. Special needs tutors modify the general education curriculum to meet the child's individual needs and involve themselves in each student's social and behavioral development.

  • Auditory Impairment (AI) – refers to a hearing loss not categorized by deafness.
