How much does a teacher who specialises working one to one with special needs children earn yearly?
To work one-on-one with a special needs student you don’t need a teaching degree. You would be an aide, often to an autistic child to help him or her adapt to a general education classroom and provide any special accommodations as outlined in the IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for that particular student. Unfortunately, since a teaching degree, or any degree beyond a high school diploma for that matter, is not required, the pay is fairly low. You would receive much better pay being a regular special education teacher in a full classroom setting. With aides and usually much smaller class sizes, you have a lot more one-on-one time with individual students than general education teachers.
