get a degree in education

An undergraduate degree is sufficient unless you wanted to become a diagnostician (the person who tests people refered for special education enrollment). This would require a masters.

The rules for becoming a teacher are fairly uniform across states. But as for specific certification (specific courses, standardized tests..etc) in your state, I'd talk with

1) the education department at the college(s) you are personally interested in. Arrange for campus visits with professors to talk with them if possible.

2) The education agency regulating k-12 schools in MI; they are responsible for issuing teacher certification

3) The education agency regulating higher education in MI; they are responsible for allowing any college or university in the state to first exist and then to offer a teacher education curriculum including for people wanting to teach special education. Unless this agency approves the teacher ed curriculum, an institution of higher ed cannot offer it.

These people would provide state-specific policies for becoming that teacher.

should be a bachelors degree to start with

look at the websites for state (public ) colleges that offer teacher degree programs–

this 1 says it is a 5 year bachelors level program (5th year is internship)
