You need the same qualifications as you would to look after children without special needs. The main thing you need for this type of work is a big heart, understanding, empathy, and patience. Experience is always a good thing to have, as some of these children's needs are very complex and need someone with a sound understanding of the need. If you undertake a basic childcare qualification, chances are you will have to do placements anyway. Usually one of these would be a special needs placement. If not, you can do voluntary work at a disability centre, or within an out of school setting.

good
My daughters use Florida Virtual School. The pace is can be adjusted, but traditionally it works off regular 18 week semesters. The teachers can be contacted by telephone or email, but the curriculum is mostly laid out online. If the child has a lot of special needs, they will likely need you to help them a good deal. The teachers will be there for you, but it not be something that you can just set them in front of and they will be able to do on their own. The classes are a bit advanced. If you contact the school, they may have special programs. So far, I have had good luck with their telephone customer service.
