Description

This course is designed to provide a complete overview of special education including historical, legal and cultural founda-tions of special education, and the main historical figures who changed the landscape of services for children and adults with disabilities. This course will expose students to recent federal and state regulations pertaining to the rights, responsibilities, and privileges of students, parents, and teachers. This includes understanding and discussing the evaluation process (referral, assessment, identification, continuum of placements [least restrictive environment], and timelines); as well as the various environments (inclusion, intervention strategies), services and implementation, which are appropriate and necessary to pro-vide for children with disabilities. This course is identified as a Stage III field experience course and will include assignments that meet PDE identified required competencies (30 hours). (New Course Fall 2014.)
