Technicienne en éducation spécialisée

Les techniciens et techniciennes en éducation spécialisée, souvent appelées éducatrices spécialisées, apprennent aux élèves avec des troubles d’apprentissage à lire et à écrire. Au sein d’une équipe multidisciplinaire, elles peuvent intervenir auprès des personnes ayant une déficience physique pour les aider à se servir d’appareils conçus pour minimiser leur handicap, auprès des personnes âgées en perte d’autonomie ou avec les personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle ou comportementale pour les soutenir dans le développement des habiletés sociales à travers différentes activités. C’est un métier très en demande qui requiert de l’empathie, de la créativité et surtout de l’écoute. Un emploi comme technicienne spécialisée convient aux personnes qui ont des aptitudes en communication, de la patience et une belle ouverture d’esprit.
