Certifications required may vary by location, but typically, they should have a bachelor's degree in special education, child psychology, or a related field. Many states also require licensing or certification in special education. Before becoming a Special Education Teacher, a person may have roles such as a Teacher Assistant, Special Education Paraprofessional, or an Inclusion Support Facilitator to gain relevant experience and skills.
