Purpose
Identify and describe the difficulties and the value assigned to their work by teachers.

A classification type questionnaire was answered by teachers about the role they play in relation to the student, the difficulties and skills that the teacher has in relation to the student, communication strategies used by both behaviors and interests of children observed by the teacher.

They felt that the school offers enough support for your work, but there is very little support from other professionals and lack of appropriate teaching technology.
