Short Summary of the interview:
She works with children who have learning disabilities, most of whom have complex specific learning disorders such as reading, writing, and attention difficulties. She teaches a mixed learning group with one student who has special needs. The group consists of 13 students, 4 of whom have learning problems, making up 30% of the group. The biggest challenge in her work is managing time during lessons, as the majority of class time is spent assisting special needs students who are unable to complete tasks independently. Tasks such as reading and writing are done only with teacher support. Students particularly enjoy digital tasks and games, especially those that are supported by illustrations.
