What is a Career in Special Education Training?

I think Special Education Training is a great Career option. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find information about What Special Education Training actually is. Most pages on the internet just talk about How to get into Special Education Training. It had been a while since I was researching about a Career in Special Education Training, when I came across: https://www.lifepage.in/career/20171117-0003/Arts/Special Education/Career-in-Special-Education-Training/hindi

Manju Singhania's outlook! Manju Singhania has 22 years of professional experience in Special Education Training. Manju Singhania has worked in Special Education Training as Director in Joy of Learning. In Manju Singhania's own words, this is how Manju Singhania got into Special Education Training: "After doing my B Ed from Calcutta, I did my Post Graduate Diploma in special education. Post that I did many courses such as a program from the Hanen Canen Center in Canada to train primary school teachers and parents of young children. I also did a course on Narrative Therapy from Australia and a course on SPARK communication from Hanen Centre. I worked as a Director of Training and Development at Latika Roy Foundation for 22 years. In 2017, I opened my own centre by the name Joy of Learning for Special Education Training." 

Career Video on Special Education Training In a video, Manju Singhania has talked about various aspects of a Career in Special Education Training. Manju Singhania started by explaining Special Education Training as: "Special education is the practice of educating students with special educational needs in a way that addresses their individual differences and needs. Ideally, this process involves the individually planned and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, and accessible settings. These interventions are designed to help individuals with special needs achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success in school and in their community that may not be available if the student were only given access to a typical classroom education." I watched the full video and I absolutely loved it.

It was a welcome change to see the video touch upon Education as theoretical knowledge needed to excel at Special Education Training, and not merely as Qualifications needed to enter Special Education Training. Manju Singhania touches upon these in the Education section of the Video:

• Child Development
• Psychology
• Different Disabilities
• Planning
• Task Analysis
• Rights of People with Disability

Skills are the most important factor determining success in a particular Career.
Manju Singhania then explains why these Skills are essential for a Career in Special Education Training:

• Teaching Skills
• Counselling
• Creativity
• Assessment

Positives of this Career are quite interesting.
Manju Singhania believes that the following are some of the Positives of a Career in Special Education Training:

• Immense Satisfaction
• Making Children Independent
• Social Impact
• Growth Opportunities

After a discussion on Positives, Challenges complete the caricature of a Career.
And, Manju Singhania believes that one needs to prepare for following Challenges of a Career in Special Education Training:

• Lack of Awareness
• Lack of Skilled Professionals
