Course Description

Inclusion has lead to the full integration of children with exceptionalities into many schools. This, in turn, has created a greater need for individuals with special training. This course examines the philosophy and educational concepts associated with inclusion. Students will have opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge of strategies and interventions in the field of special education, and examine the use and application of Assistive Technology. The course will also focus on the effects of medications on behaviour and learning, as well as the recognition and appropriate responses to many common health issues within inclusive classrooms and early learning environments.
