About the course

MU?s cross-categorical disabilities program is tailored to graduate students who are receiving initial and secondary certification in cross-categorical special education. Upon completion of the degree, graduates are certified to teach students with mild disabilities (i.e., learning disabilities, emotional/behavior disorders, intellectual disabilities) and are certified to teach all grades K-12.In addition to enrolling in courses to fulfill general certification requirements, students are required to take graduate course work (30 hours) in the area of cross-categorical disabilities. Students also take a three-hour Characteristics of Students with Cross-categorical Disabilities course and a four-hour Strategies for Students with Cross-categorical Disabilities course. To enhance the generalization of critical skills and knowledge to the classroom setting, students are also required to take two practicum concurrent with the characteristics and methods courses that include field experiences and applications of key concepts. Students are required to have their practicum represent the range of grade levels for which they will be responsible. More specifically, if their first practicum was in an elementary setting, then their second will be in a middle school, junior high or high school setting or vice versa.
