This major is a comprehensive interdisciplinary subject that integrates education and rehabilitation means and provides services for groups with dual needs of education and rehabilitation. It widely serves groups with special needs, such as hearing impairment, speech and language impairment, psychological impairment, mental retardation and autism. As the first rehabilitation education major in China, this major adheres to the school-running philosophy of "combining medicine with education, combining arts with science, and combining theory with practice", with abundant teachers and rich curriculum resources, which is in line with international standards and cultivates urgently needed "double-qualified" talents (teachers and rehabilitation teachers) who can not only engage in special education teaching tasks, but also undertake rehabilitation training tasks.

In recent years, with the unprecedented increase in China's attention and investment in the disabled, the demand for educational rehabilitation talents has surged and there is a shortage of educational rehabilitation talents. The employment of graduates of this major is in short supply. After graduation, students are mainly engaged in the assessment, rehabilitation, education, consultation, research and development of speech, hearing, cognition, psychology, sports and other obstacles in special education schools, rehabilitation centers, private welfare institutions, relevant departments of hospitals, scientific research institutions, resource classrooms of ordinary schools and other units or places.

At present, this major has carried out extensive cooperation with China Teacher Development Foundation, China Rehabilitation Research Center for Deaf Children and China Child Welfare and Adoption Center.
