The Department of Special Education will prepare you to provide instructional and behavioral/social support to individuals with special needs. Each of the programs within the department helps you appreciate and understand the unique abilities, interests and talents of individuals with special needs and develop proficiency in working with them and their families. This understanding is essential in order to constructively participate in the lives of individuals with special needs and to effectively advocate on their behalf.
