She thinks I'm a haughty!

I'm also not directly involved in Special Ed and this may be beyond the scope of what you're asking but my father was a long-time coach for Special Olympic soccer teams in Missouri. I was also playing soccer at the time but more refereeing for money so I saw my dad coach a lot and got to see how meaningful the interactions between the players and the fans and coaches were. Even just being tangentially related to it just getting to know the kids that played on my dad's team had a big positive impact on my life and understanding about a community I'm not a part of. I am a librarian so I do often work with people of all ages with special needs and I really admire those more directly involved because they're building a more equitable society for these citizens. If you have a passion for this I think you'll find it to be extremely rewarding work.
