Jobs for special education teachers through elementary schools are expected to grow by 20 percent from 2008 to 2018, predicts the Department of Labor.

In addition, advanced technology allows diagnosis of special conditions at earlier ages. In addition, fast populations in the South and West will also require more teachers.
