Rehabilitation services are the process of providing disabled individuals with the highest level of integration into society. Thanks to these services, the quality of life of disabled individuals is improved and they are enabled to take a more active role in society. Special education teachers are one of the professional groups that play an important role in supporting the education and development of disabled individuals. However, this situation can also expose teachers to a range of psychological risk factors such as workload, stress, and challenging working conditions. Among the stress factors are meeting the special needs of students, communicating with families, and other social factors, as well as burnout syndrome. These factors can have negative effects on the psychological health of teachers and subsequently negatively affect their professional performance. The study shows that teachers working in special education and rehabilitation centers experience psychological problems resulting from the difficulty of their profession. The majority of teachers struggle with anxiety about the future and especially concerns about their children being born with disabilities leading to significant problems in their social lives. Additionally, a relationship between their work hours and psychological state has been identified.
