Request Information

"My graduate experience in the Special Education Program and my year long-clinical experience as part of the 5 year program helped me secure a permanent position teaching 5th grade. The clinical experience was five days a week working with students with language-based learning disabilities and allowed me to apply some of the research methods I learned through the Special Ed Program."
