What are the requirements for an International student from India who has done her bachelors degree in Special education in Mental Retardation to get a job in USA. To my knowledge, in USA we have to get a license for the special education teaching. Since the student is from India, its obvious that they dont have a license. How do we get started on this matter. Where do we apply for a job and get licensed in this area. Thanks.

In CA you have to have a certificate. Each state is different. Check with the Dept. of Education.

The first thing that you would have to do is make sure that they have enough education credits to be able to apply for a license in the US. Our requirements might be stricter than in another country. That would be the first place to start. You might also have to have certain amount of credits in special education for children, infants and adolescence depending on the state that she wants to teach in. And what age she wants to teach.

I would check with the state you want to teach in

First thing you need to do is realize that the words mental retardation are no longer acceptable. I would be rather upset if you were around my kids.
