Yes, and it is a moderate move. A special educational needs teacher already covers 64% of what an adult literacy teacher is expected to do: 24 skills carry over, 19 of which the adult literacy teacher role treats as required.

8 required skills are missing, plus 10 optional ones. They fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is teach basic numeracy skills.

Its learning distance is 44.9 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
