They are responsible for developing, implementing, and monitoring individualized education plans (IEPs) and ensuring that students receive the appropriate support and accommodations.

To thrive as an ESE (Exceptional Student Education) Specialist, you need a strong background in special education, individualized education program (IEP) development, and a relevant teaching certification. Familiarity with special education laws, data management systems, and assistive technology tools is typically required.
