Credits: 4
This course provides an overview of the challenges that students with moderate disabilities encounter in their personal, social, and academic lives. Beginning with descriptions of typical development, the class will explore how disabilities are identified, what necessary steps are taken to refer students for evaluations in the Special Education process, and research-based accommodations and interventions including the use of assistive technology devices. State and federal laws as well as an overview of local and national support agencies are also reviewed.
