The study designed a survey directed of the Agricultural Education teachers (N=47). The study demonstrated that majority of the AGED teacher have not participated in the following: Special Education courses, workshops and trainings. In addition, the majority of the teachers are interested in maintaining themselves informed on laws that benefit the exceptional student.
