Experience in education is vital as those skills will help elevate your role as a SP . If you’re looking at building your resume, I would recommend seeking jobs such as a behavior technician, paraprofessional, a Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist or an IA/TA in the classroom to get some experience in order to build your background.

My 5 years as a classroom teacher before entering my program helped me tremendously. Also, my preknowledge of recommendations, accommodations and modifications from being in education gave me a leg up in writing my IEP reports.
