SED 414 - Low Incidence Strategies

Semester Hours: 2

This course is designed to provide practical application of knowledge about learners who have low incidence disabilities, theory, best practices, regulations, and research as related to a practicum component in PreK-8 schools working with students who have special needs in a classroom setting. The goal of the courses is to assist future special educators to prepare for the unique role of a teacher in a field that is rapidly changing as a result of shifts in public school policies, school reform, questions of efficacy, limitations of resources, teacher roles and expectations, and advocacy. Early Childhood PreK-4/Special Education PreK-8 majors must take this course in combination with SED 462 Special Education Practicum.
