About the course

The B.S.E. in Special Education prepares students to teach children and youth with mild to moderate behavior and learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia and other specific learning disabilities, attention disorders, emotional behavior disorders), mild, moderate, severe, and profound intellectual disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders, and hearing impairments (e.g., deaf or hard of hearing). Students entering the B.S.E. will choose a concentration in adapted curriculum, general curriculum, or deaf education and learn to work with children and youth across the lifespan (e.g., children in preschool through 12th grade, adolescents, and adults) in a variety of settings (e.g., separate specialized schools, typical school settings, restrictive school settings such as alternative, residential, and juvenile justices, cognitive and behavioral specialty agencies, and resource and inclusion settings), and across languages (i.e., American Sign Language and English) and modes (i.e., spoken or signed) as well as in collaborative/co-teaching models. Graduates across concentrations will be prepared to work with children and youth with special needs successfully via a curriculum that focuses on evidence-based practices that prepares them to differentiate instruction for this unique population in a variety of education and therapeutic settings. Graduates are provided coursework and practicum experiences resulting in knowledge of characteristics, curriculum, instructional strategies, and classroom management procedures.
