Special Education Certification
Special Education
When it comes to children with special educational needs, many parents want the ability to give their child the same experiences as a child without special educational needs.
One such experience is a good education in a safe environment. With the recent rise in developmental disorders, such as autism and ADHD, the need for quality special education has also increased.
This is why it is important for parents, educators, and even lawmakers to familiarize themselves with special education and what it entails for students with those needs.
Parents and educators who take the time to learn about special education often benefit from a deeper understanding about children with specific disorders or disabilities and their educational needs.
While the US has passed many acts, and each state has their own set of laws regarding the topic, not everyone is aware of what special education is, or they only know of the stigma that surrounds it.
If you are unsure as to whether or not your child qualifies as having special educational needs, you can always consult a doctor or school guidance counselor, for more information and resources.
With this course, you will be able to grasp what special education is, how it differs from standard education, who qualifies, and the relevant acts. Next, you will learn about a few key terms related to special education and the benefits of special education for children with special needs.
Finally, you will discover the many issues and debates that surround special education and how they may impact children with disabilities.
What You Will Learn:
- About special education in a private, public and homeschool setting
- How special education differs from regular education
- About the acts and laws regarding special education and children with disabilities
- Who qualifies and other resources
- About the rewards and challenges of special education
The Benefits of Taking This Course:
- You will gain a deeper understanding of the education system and special education
- You will know more about different disability protections in the US
- If necessary, your child will benefit from special education and the many resources provided
- If necessary, you will be able to get more involved with your child's educational needs and support better education opportunities for all students with special needs

This course is incredibly helpful and easy to understand to start off a career in event planning. The case studies give you an insight into the real world of this role and not just the "shiny exterior". I'm loving this course and cannot wait to use the knowledge that I have gained in the [hopefully not so distant] future!
Leanne Dormer
Great support and I can honestly say that this course helped me so much in order to understand what it takes in order to become a successful recruiter and allowed me to develop in this area.
Excellent, I thought the course was well put together and liked the fact that the modules were short and manageable.
Andreea Roxana Blaga
I found the course straight forward and easy to follow.
It’s given me a great understanding of first aid procedures and has outlined some important aspects of looking after pets in general. It paid particular attention to the description of the CPR procedure. I will come in very useful.
The multi choice test at the end is easy to complete and I found the worksheets at the end of each module very helpful to outline the important aspects.
I look forward to completing many more courses on offer to help progress my new dog walking and pet care business.
Thank you.

Clear and concise content in a great structure to allow to be able to revise and study key points without being rushed forward without fully understanding content , iv'e done lots of distant learning courses but this is by far the best !
Daniel Gordon
Great course lots to learn and apply very informative, as a pharmacy assistant this course has given me more knowledge and confidence to provide great services to my customers.
Assignments were easy to follow and I would recommend anyone to study a course at New Skills Academy as you can do them in your own time.
Having a certificate not only boosts my confidence, but also shows my employers that i have learnt new skills and have gained more information that is useful for my area of work.
Thanks very much New Skills Academy, I will study with you again!

I cannot recommend this course enough, and after seeing the standard of my current course, I can only assume others are to the same high standard.
One of the first things you will notice about the course is just how informative it is. The information given is in depth and intelligently written. I felt within the first 15 minutes of starting, I had a genuine understanding of the requirements of my course and the ways in which it would benefit me.
I have been working in hotels now for a few years and have made the step forward into a management role. This course has given me great confidence in my own abilities and is helping me understand just how much work goes into managing a hotel.
I cannot recommend this course enough! If you’re thinking of taking the plunge, perhaps making a career change or just starting out like me, then this course is the platform you need to boost your success.

Fantastic course! Well-presented and challenging with frequent assessments. I feel a serious sense of accomplishment having not studied for over 30 years! Videos that accompany each module are carefully thought out and informative. Am so impressed with this course, have now signed up for 3 other courses and recommending New Skills Academy to everyone!

Very interesting and helpful course. I ve learned a lot of interesting things about make up and the tutorials were very helpful and easy to understand. I really reccomend this course for everyone who is passionate about make up and wish to develop their skills and make a career from their hobby.
Nicoleta Lucaci
The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
Ross Dunsten
This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem. The test wasn’t too hard if you completed every module. It may be handy to make some notes before you start. Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Thank you New skills for my New skills :)
Julia Bobkova
I found this course incredibly useful, as it provided me with practical knowledge which I can implement in my role as a Support Worker. The videos were clear and concise, and the downloadable worksheets reinforced what I had learned as I was able to put pen to paper. Overall, a fantastic course for a great price! I am looking forward to taking on my next one.
Teleisha Harley
Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.
