Educators play an important role in classroom instruction and students' learning progress. Though there are teaching strategies to help students learn, there are educators who experience difficulties in teaching students with special needs. This study aims to know the difficulties of special education teachers in implementing specially designed instruction for students with special needs who have and do not have psychoeducational assessment, as well as their differences in classroom performances. This study utilized the quantitative approach. Thirty educators in selected schools in Antipolo City, Philippines who handle students with special needs participated and eight educators answered interview questions. The data collection results indicate that there are difficulties in implementing specially designed instruction for children with special needs who do not have psychoeducational assess. The content, methodology, and delivery shows significant difficulties with the p-value of 0.001. Moreover, the results show the classroom performance of students in terms of task behavior has a significant difference since the p-value of 0.027. In terms of participation, students with psychoeducational assessment perceived to perform better than without psychoeducational assessment since the p-value of 0.030. For the meeting learning objectives, it shows a significant difference between with and without psychoeducational assessment with the p-value of 0.008.
