In order to work one one one, you only need an undergrad certificate to be an aide. It does not make so much money. By the time you get a masters degree, you are expected to be in a program to develop the leadership skills to teach a class. I also have to add that there are different categories of disabilities, learning disabilities, this is dyslexic or dyscalculia or others, they typically need one on one attention in a resource room. Special needs, like down syndrome, if they are in a mainstream class, they need an aide. And behavior disabilities, social skill deficit/ high functioning autism. They may be less likely to need one on one instruction depending on what is needed but are often found in social skill groups with a social worker.
