The purpose with this study was to look at teachers`thoughts and experiences of student influences in special schools. The study was based on questions of how the teachers` work with student influence, what kind of assumptions they have,and the teachers`experiences of how it influences the consequences. I choose this subject because I think it is relevant to my education. At the university I aimed my studies to special pedagogy and that is why I feel that special schools is a relevant choice of subject. This study was done with qualitative interviews with three teachers`involved. These three teachers` had their experinces from three different communities, and that was known to me. The purpose of that was too see if I could get different result that I could use in my discussion, but that was not the case. The differences between these three teachers` experiences, influences assumptions, and consequenses were few. All three agreed that the teachers`faith in what the student could and wanted to have influence was an assumption to give them this opportunity. They also talked about communication as an important fact to influence. The teachers`experiences of the consequences can compound that if the student have the experience of influence it will give the student a feeling of responsibility. This responsibility can give the student a deeper knowledge both in a practical and theoretical way.
