I usually just say Special Needs teacher or I teach children with complex needs.

Curious what others say?

When they were little I said "I look after my kids"
Then "I home educate my kids"
Now the youngest isn't technically a child anymore "Carer for my disabled teen"

But the job I've done has been broadly similar for all those years. I'd never before noticed that I felt obliged to describe it differently according to the ages of my kids! That has given me something to think about...

That's interesting. Did people react differently to the different things you said?

if it is in relation to home educating - I home educate my child. 🤔
