SPED 660 Inclusion of Students with Special Needs
Teachers/educational leaders will use diversity in their classroom/school to examine exceptional individuals, including students labeled mentally disabled, emotionally disturbed , gifted, learning disabled, and sensory impaired. Participants use case analyses to gain a deeper understanding of assessment of strategies, teaching methodologies, techniques, materials, specific learning characteristics, and individual learning styles. Additionally, the course examines the family's response to their special needs children and their way of supporting them from preschool through adulthood. They will also analyze research findings regarding children's special needs and use those findings to document practices as they relate to making decisions promoting the full inclusion of students.
