The special education programs are designed as endorsement programs that meet the Michigan Department of Education Special Education Rules for teacher preparation in the areas of:
- Cognitive Impairment (CI)
- Learning Disabilities (LD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
The goal of the Special Education program is to prepare teachers to use current research-based and recommended practices while providing research-to-practice opportunities to broaden their knowledge and scholarship. We believe that special education must function as an integral and complementary component of best practices in the education for all students.
