German term or phrase: Heilerziehungspflege/Heilerziehungspflegehilfe
Es geht um das Zeugnis einer staatlich anerkannten Heilerziehungspflegehelferin.

Forumsdiskussionen bei Leo ergaben für Heilerziehungspfleger so verschiedene Vorschläge wie "disability support worker", "social care worker", "curative education teacher" oder "special needs nurse". Bisher tendiere ich zu "disability support worker".
Für Heilerziehungspflegehelferin habe ich bisher gar nichts gefunden, wobei mir auch nicht klar ist, was der Unterschied zwischen beiden ist. Hat jemand diese Berufsbezeichnung(en) bereits übersetzt und kennt eine gängige Lösung?

Zur Info: Gefragt ist US-Englisch.

Danke im Voraus für eure Antworten.

Explanation:
...scheinen hier (US) gängige Bezeichnungen für diese Berufe zu sein. Falls der zweite Begriff so zu lang/umständlich sein sollte, könnte man auch:

'nursing assistant for patients with special needs' sagen.

Nurse specialising in disability/Disability healthcare assistant


Explanation:
If you prefer in special needs, you can replace it for disability. It is not clear to me, whether the people or patients that were cared for had a disability or special needs. The latter is, certainly in Britain, used for people with learning or behavioural problems.

Put "Heilerziehung" into the Term Search field, and leave the "Match entire phrase" and "Match whole words only" boxes unchecked. For some reason I couldn't get a URL for the search itself, which turns up numerous options.

Asker: Thanks for pointing out the checkbox issue; I had "Match ..." checked and thus didn't get any results before.
