Abstract

The aim of the article is to show the meaning and the influence of the relationship and the person of a special educator on the process of education and therapy of children with special educational needs. The presented description shows that specialists and teachers play a huge role in the lives of their pupils, and their personality traits ad influence are visible in the progress made by the students.
