I bought small presents for dds teacher and TA yesterday, but never even thought about the SN Teacher assigned to one of kids in the class. Do indeed to get something else? I don't think she has much to do with dd but I'm not really sure and feel a bit guilty already that I didn't consider her.

yanbu - I have rarely bought for my dc teachers. Only if we feel one has been above the call of duty so to speak.
Once you start all this malarky it is never ending.
They don't expect it either.

Nope YANBU at all. The SN teacher's nothing to do with your child. I'm sure the child she's helping will have got her a gift.

I only buy for the teachers and possibly the TA. According to my DD the TA who has been in her class since year 3 "doesn't like her" so she hasn't had a present since year 4! Think that's fair enough as the present is supposed to be coming from the child.

I got a present for the SN teacher - but that was because DD does get resource time with her most days. I didn't get a present for the SN teacher who is there to help another pupil.

However, if you really want, and the SN teacher is in the room a lot so would be involved with all the kids a lot, then your DC could make them a card instead. (DD insisted on making cards for the TA currently in the room (came back from mat leave in Jan), the TA they had for term 1, the reading group leader, the SN teacher and the class teacher - I made her just sign shop cards for the 2 drivers and 3 leaders in afterschool club in creche or she'd never have finished them all!!).
