Moderate/Severe Disabilities (K- grade 12)
A basic assumption guiding the Moderate/Severe specialization is that students with moderate to severe disabilities acquire meaningful educational outcomes most effectively and efficiently in typical environments with peers who do not have disabilities. Therefore teachers of students with moderate and severe disabilities must acquire strategies for implementing instruction across a variety of educational settings and for supporting student interactions with peers without disabilities. Our program focuses on providing teachers with the skills and abilities to use appropriate assessments in order to identify and teach critical skills and monitor progress toward meeting identified goals within the natural setting. The program recognizes the extreme diversity of its students and emphasizes a person-centered approach that considers the cultural values of the family.
