The best answer to the OP's question -- in my view -- is to visit a college and inquire as to programs available and if all of her credits will transfer into a program for special ed teaching.
Another possibility, since sped teachers are at a premium is to go to a school system personnel office that is hiring and ask for their advice.
You basically study everything teachers study, but you do not get to do student-teaching, instead you write a thesis based on an educational concept or project.
I was doing Special Ed. intially but had to change paths because of personal reasons, I ended up having to move and never got to do my student-teaching, so schools when that happens replace student teaching with a thesis and you graduate with a bachelors on Educational studies.
I am aware we have a serious need for teachers and I want to do it. (I just need to know how).
I've been told they have alternate ways towards certification if you want to go into teaching and happen to have a bachelors!

Why did you not do student teaching?
