In that case, I would suggest finding a job that is like a nanny, but is for a special needs child. You could probably find this kind of information on a special education site, through a local special education school, or try the CEC's (Council for Exceptional Children) site, they have employment opportunities. This way, when you come back, you may be able to use this time away as credit for some classes. That way you kill two birds with one stone. Another alterative to keep it in the major is to be a paraprofessional. You'll be in the classroom with a special ed teacher, but you won't have to do the IEPs and whatnot. This can also help you to fully understand the profession and whether its really right for you.
Also, what year are you in school?
