[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should get a SPED license but also focus on a specialty like Speech, OT, Autism, etc. [quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is the right forum, but daughter is thinking seriously about majoring in this field.  She had a one semester HS course working with these kids at her school and have never seen her so happy.  Teacher said she was fantastic working with them.  Realize teachers do not make a lot of money but daughter does not have an interest in becoming an investment banker or lawyer anyway.  She's a sensitive kid and a hyper-competitive field is not what she is about.  Teachers get the summer off and pensions so not a bad living if done right.

My questions are the pros and cons of the field.  Also, what would be an appropriate minor?[/quote][/quote]

I'm the special educator above, and I'm not sure I understand this post.  Speech, OT, and Special Education would require very different coursework and degrees.  Earning 2 of them would cost a lot of money for not a lot of return.  Someone with any of those credentials can specialize in Autism, or any one of a number of other areas.[/quote]
