Diagnostician
I evaluate students to see if they meet the criteria for special education eligibilities
My days at work are different every day. One day I may be evaluating a student and analyzing the data to determine eligibility and the best supports and services that would benefit that student. I may be holding IEP meetings one right after the other and completing all the paperwork that goes with those meetings. I may be attending training. I may be doing a combination of all of these things during one single day.
Here's the first step for professionals
Have teaching experience and ask to do the internship part of this degree with the diagnostician at the school you already teach in. This is much easier to manage and will likely lead to a strong recommendation.
