The scientific major, special pedagogy, is a relatively new field in the Czech Republic. It started growing in the second half of the 20th century. Therefore, it is still evolving its assumptions for personal and professional aspects that a special pedagogue should have. The influence and evolution of society should be reflected not only in the scientific field but in the profession as well. The aims of this paper are to describe the personality of a special pedagogue, to reflect one’s personality as a special pedagogue, and to highlight the importance of an individual who is transferred to a pedagogical-inclusive process which is initiated by a special pedagogue. The main of this research was to collect reflections on the profession of a special pedagogue in the working environment. This research was focused on special pedagogues in the first stage of primary schools. The target group was not eliminated by age, gender, colour, religion, education, or the length of working experience in the position of the special pedagogue. With regard to the established research goal, we chose qualitative research – specifically, the interview method. We conducted in total five semi-structured interviews with which the respondents agreed to be shared for purposes of the research. All interviews were recorded, and respondents knew about that and agreed with it.
