Teachers who work with children who have disabilities in the UK are known as special educational needs (SEN) teachers.A The prerequisite for becoming an SEN teacher is qualified teacher status (QTS).B

This is generally achieved by completing one of the following:B

  • Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE);
  • School-centred initial teacher training (SCITT);
  • Bachelor of Education (BEd);
  • BA or BSc with QTS.

With regards to undergraduate degree type, the following advice is given:C

"teacher training is open to graduates in all subjects, but a degree in a curriculum subject area, e.g. English, science, or mathematics, increases your chances".

As such it would seem sensible to chose A-levels that also fit into the above areas of the curriculum.

== == * I did some research and learned that men with Down syndrome are usually sterile. Most women can get pregnant and have children. Since there is a high risk of Down syndrome in the baby (35%-50%), many times the pregnancy would end in a miscarriage. But many Down syndrome people have had children. * Technically yes, but it's unlikely. Fertility is greatly reduced in both males and females with Down syndrome, although there have been a few cases of males fathering children and females bearing them. * Actually, there has only been 1 case of a male fathering a child. A women with Down syndrome can have children, but there is a 50% chance that the baby will be born with Down syndrome.
