Methods of identifying, teaching, and providing services to exceptional students, as well as legal aspects and implications of least restrictive environment will be examined. This course seeks to provide prospective teachers with competencies that will complement their specific area of expertise. Prerequisites: Education 101, 210, and 212. Fall
