SPED 260 - Children With Exceptionalities

Institution:

Southern New Hampshire University

Subject:

Special Education

Description:

This course provides students with deep understanding of children with disabilities and specific characteristics of disabilities and how they impact learning in the regular curriculum. Students will examine and be prepared to define ways in which such disabilities are diagnosed and possible strategies and techniques (to include assistive technology) to assist the student in the regular classroom to the extent possible. Response to intervention (RTI) will be discussed as a regular education initiative that can serve the needs of all students. Students will research resources available for families and schools to support the needs of disabled children. The role of the family and school as partners will be developed as a critical technique to serve the needs of students, as well as facilitating effective meetings and communication efforts that must be part of the role of special educator.
