Special Education Teacher Services

A special education teacher supports the development of skills a child needs for learning.

Learning is built on attention, memory, perception, thinking, understanding speech, and the ability to follow instructions. A special education teacher helps identify a child’s strengths and the areas where they need extra support, and selects learning methods and exercises suited to the child.

A special education teacher can help if a child has difficulty:

– Remembering and using what they’ve learned
– Concentrating
– Understanding and remembering instructions
– Learning to read or write
– Calculating and understanding mathematical relationships
– Starting or finishing a task independently

Our Special Education Teachers

Küllike Sillapuu

Küllike earned her degree as a special education advisor from Tallinn University and has worked for over ten years in various rehabilitation, school, and kindergarten settings. She has worked as a special education teacher at AVE Center since 2010.

“As a special education teacher, I believe cooperation and open, trusting communication with the child and their family are essential. Every step forward, big or small, is an important achievement that brings new hope and motivation — for the child, their family, and for me.”

Lesya Tsidenkova

Lesya holds a master’s degree in speech therapy and has worked for over ten years as a speech therapist in kindergartens.

“For me, it’s important to find the learning and communication approach that works best for each individual child. I use playful and varied activities so that children can gain new skills in a way that feels manageable and motivating for them.”
