Description

This course will examine the varied learning, behavioral and social characteristics of students with disabilities. Prevalence, diversified etiologies, medical factors and psychological characteristics will be explored. In terms of New York State Learning Standards, No Child Left Behind Legislation and the reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, current inclusionary techniques and specific curricular approaches (including assistive technology) that are empirically based will be assessed as they benefit students with specific learning disabilities, developmental delays or autism spectrum disorders. Additional proactive strategies will include current and pragmatic behavior modification vehicles. Teacher candidates will also have an opportunity to design a learning environment for individuals with disabilities.
