This is so not true! I have a degree in art education and we maybe spent 1/2 of 1 semester going over stuff like IEP's and dealing with disabilities. I never have gone into teaching, but I can't imagine that any more "training" would have been offered (except "on the job" training, meaning trial and error!)

The only way to be properly trained in that field, would be to take courses specifically designed for that subject. Those courses take just as much time to accomplish as getting your teaching degree... my mother couldn't do both and she's upset now. All the training in the world to deal with special children's needs and not a teaching degree in sight...
