The itinerant teacher is an excellent choice when it comes to reaching and teaching students with challenges, on an individual level. The attention and care that goes into each child caters for holistic development. They can also help the family to see their child in a positive light and to develop a supportive attitude towards their child. This will help with schooling and independence.

The lack of clear job descriptions and support makes it very difficult for itinerant teachers to organize their work in order to reach the children who most need their help. Some teachers have to overcome many barriers, including:

-lack of cooperation and support from teaching staff

-Increased work loads/cases

-The challenge of getting from one place to the next etc.

However, it is clear that the outcomes/rewards truly outweigh the challenges.
