The mission of the Special Education Program is to prepare highly skilled teachers and teacher-educators, as well as to provide leadership to the field of Special Education at local, state, national and international levels for the purpose of assisting individuals with disabilities in acquiring greater independence in an increasingly diverse, technological, and literacy-intensive global community. Philosophically, research-based theory and practice are the foundation of the program’s preparation of teachers and teacher-educators, as well as related-service and leadership personnel. The Special Education Program is committed to the preparation of personnel who celebrate and foster inclusion, diversity, and multiculturalism.
