缺乏合格的特殊教育教师威胁着残疾学生接受教育的质量。教师流失在教师短缺问题中起着一定的作用，提高教师留存率的努力必须了解导致教师流失的因素。具体而言，作者对特殊教育教师流失和保留因素的研究进行了专题分析。她讨论了四个主要主题：教师特征和个人因素、教师资格、工作环境和教师对工作的情感反应。在这篇专题综述之后，对用于研究特殊教育损耗的定义、概念和方法方法进行了批评，并提出了未来研究的重点。
The lack of qualified special education teachers threatens the quality of education that students with disabilities receive. Attrition plays a part in the teacher shortage problem, and efforts to improve retention must be informed by an understanding of the factors that contribute to attrition. Specifically, the author provides a thematic analysis of studies investigating factors that contribute to special education teacher attrition and retention. She addresses four major themes: teacher characteristics and personal factors, teacher qualifications, work environments, and teachers' affective reactions to work. Following this thematic review, a critique of definitional, conceptual, and methodological approaches used to study special education attrition is provided, as are priorities for future research.
