SPEC ED 553: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Working with Children and Youth with Disabilities
3
This course provides information about typical and atypical language and motor development in children and youth (ages birth to 21 years). Course topics include milestones of typical language and motor development, characteristics of specific language/motor disorders and sensory impairments (hearing and visual impairments). An interdisciplinary focus that highlights the work of related service providers, such as occupational, physical and speech therapies and consultants for individuals with visual and hearing impairments serves as the context for the course. In addition, this course addresses the role and responsibility of special education teachers to support, supervise, monitor and evaluate paraeducators working in their classrooms. Recommended approaches that support individuals with language/motor disorders and sensory impairments, such as basic sign language, Picture Exchange Communications System and sensory integration strategies, are embedded into course topics. The course is required of all undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the special education teacher licensure program.
