Hello Siza, 

Please note there is no undergraduate course in special education. One can pursue a B.Ed in the same which is possible only after one is a graduate.

But there are lots of counseling organizations that offer diploma and or certificate courses after 12th, which are of 6 months duration. 

You can either pursue a B.Ed or opt for certification courses. But check whether the course is RCI recognised. 

Check IGNOU, YCMOU, National Institute for empowerment of individuals with mental disability etc.

If possible pursue a counseling degree too. It helps to join schools and function as both special educator cum counselor.

Also do not pursue a distance learning course unless practicals are a part of the course curriculum.

Wish you good luck...
