The Programs in Special Education at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology are committed to educating future experts and innovators in special education. Graduates from our programs gain the job training to create inclusive classrooms for children with autism, deaf-blindness, deafness, developmental delays, emotional challenges, hearing impairment, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disabilities, speech or language impairment, visual impairment, and other circumstances.
Our online courses will provide you with a thorough mastery of pedagogical practice and evidence-based teaching skills. You may add a specialty in technology in special education as well as literacy.
Through our live online classroom program, students participate in classes synchronously on Zoom in real time from the comfort of their homes. Classes meet virtually at convenient times throughout the day and evening which allows students to ask questions and contribute to lectures as if they are present in the classroom. Live online students have access to many of the same resources as on-campus students, including the writing center which is available via phone and video appointments.
Your in-person one-on-one supervised student teaching experiences provide deep understanding of inclusive classroom practices and working collaboratively with families and agencies. As a student, you will be placed in an appropriate public or private school which provides inclusive classrooms. If you already have a position teaching or assistant-teaching, student-teaching requirements may be completed at your place of work.
