Direct answer

Exposure is not replacement probability

The Special Education Teacher role has a comparatively lower AI-exposure baseline. AI may still change routine and digital tasks, but human presence, judgment or accountability remain meaningful defenses. The 38/100 figure is an occupation-level starting point. It does not mean that 38% of workers will lose their jobs or that 38% of the role will certainly disappear.

Why your result may differ

A title cannot describe the whole job

Two people called Special Education Teacher may have different exposure. Routine digital inputs and repeatable rules raise automation pressure. Accountability, trust, unusual cases, physical presence and senior decision-making generally raise resilience. The personal assessment adjusts this baseline around those factors.
