Catalog Description
Explore the essential role of special education in creating inclusive learning environments that address diverse learning needs. Students will examine the laws and policies that protect the rights of individuals with disabilities, investigate the various types of disabilities, and learn effective methods for identifying students with disabilities. By examining how disabilities intersect with other demographic factors, students will develop a more comprehensive view of the challenges these individuals face. Additionally, the course emphasizes the importance of collaboration among all stakeholders, equipping aspiring educators with the skills to communicate effectively across different audiences. Through the study of laws and legislation, case studies, first-hand accounts, and discussions, students will prepare to work with individuals with disabilities in K-12 educational settings. This course requires a 30-hour field experience.
