The role of Special Education Staff (SES) at Special Education Schools (SMEAE) is of crucial importance both for the normal and balanced development and evolution of the students with special needs who study at them. This experiential research was conducted during the school years 2020-21 and 2021-22 in the educational district of Lasithi Prefecture and thirty five(35) special education teachers, who worked in special education structures, took part in it. Research data were collected via semi-structured interview, while the material of the interviews was analyzed and referenced with the qualitative method of context analysis. The outcome of the research shows that the job provided by the special education teachers at special education structures is multidimensional, multileveled and multiaspected as it ensures the harmonic preparation of these students for society inclusion through obtaining emotional and behavioral skills and abilities.
