The purpose of the study was to compare the psychological wellbeing of special education teachers in Pakistan based on their demographic variables. Psychological well-being is described as a collaboration of positive effects and ideal functioning of persons in individual and social areas of life. Overall, 364 special education teachers were selected using the convenient sampling technique. The psychological well-being questionnaire developed and validated
by Akin et al. (2012) was employed to compare the psychological well-being of sampled teachers. The study explored that female teachers demonstrated higher levels of psychological well-being, married teachers were better than unmarried teachers in their psychological well-being, and more experienced teachers were
better than less experienced teachers in psychological well-being in special education schools. Further, the study revealed that Senior Special Education Teachers perceived higher psychological well-being than Junior Special Education Teachers. The recommendations are given at the end of the study.
