Demand for special education teachers will be driven by school enrollments and the need for special education services. Demand should rise as disabilities are being identified earlier and as children with disabilities are enrolled into special education programs. Federal laws require that every state must maintain the same level of financial support for special education every year. However, employment growth of special education teachers may depend on increases in funding.
