The task of these teachers is to adapt to the need of the students individually and provide accordingly. They have to be innovative, imaginative and possess an unflagging spirit. The work is extremely challenging and physically and emotionally taxing. Progress may sometimes be very tardy and negligible, but the teacher should possess the tenacity and grit to plod on.
These teachers are involved in imparting classroom education as well as training in day-to-day activities including playing, eating and toilet training. They trace children at the elementary, middle, and secondary school level as well as work with infants and toddlers.
