Print Page Report a broken link

(3 semester credits)

Special educators understand the breadth and depth of each disability, and they continually expand their knowledge and skills related to the impact of cognition, behavior, sensory input, and physical/health issues on learning and teaching. Education professionals in this course examine disabilities beyond the surface level of definitions, characteristics, and common understandings to a deeper, life-encompassing, and future-planning perspective. Through this course, education professionals further their ability to advocate for individuals with disabilities and for the field of special education.
