Yes, you can. Depending on your college/university you may have to do some graduate work. When I went back for my MA I wanted it in Family Studies since my BA was all ready in Child development, but the university wanted me to take under grad class work, so I went back into my education department. I could have worked on a MA in special education, reading instruction, curriculum development, or counseling. I chose the counseling major and didn't have to do any under grad work. So, check with the education department of your college.
In order to get a Masters in Special Education you will need to have first earned your Bachelor Degree in Liberal Arts. After you have earned the Bachelor Degree you will be able to apply to Graduate school where you will be able to earn your Masters Degree. Then you will pick your specialty; which in your case is Special Education. Altogether, one ought to expect to earn the Masters Degree in Special Education in approximately 5-6 years.

The only degree you put after your name is a doctorate and not a MA. His abbreviated term for his degree is not recognized as a proper form. I have a doctorate and a MA plus 3 teaching credentials and only use the Dr with my name. This is my 39th year of teaching.
There are many accredited colleges and universities that offer special education programs. If you want to maximize your special education knowledge base it is best that you pursue a high level degree. Such as a masters in special education.
No it shouldn't be capitalized.
I think you need to be certified for special education. You need to know if you want to specialize in a certain field. Early childhood education or speech are two examples.
The benefits of early childhood education certification is that you are a teacher certified in a special field. Also you are working with very young children which may also be a benefit.

The best classes to take in order to become a special education teacher include early childhood education and child development classes.
Yes, but unfortunately there is no longer a special education degree in K-12... I know that the SUNY system definitely has a program for "Childhood with Special Education" because I have it (from SUNY GENESO).. To be certified k-12 in special education, there are a couple of graduate programs that allow you to achieve it... or, depending on which subject area you "concentrate" or "minor" in.. you can be certified to just teach that subject area in special education k-12.. hope this helps! :)
