EDU 2120 - Children with Disabilities
Credit(s): 3
This course addresses the concept of disability through an investigation of children with disabilities. The etiology and cognitive, social, emotional, and physical characteristics of individuals with high incidence disabilities (e.g. intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, speech/language impairments, and emotional disturbance), low incidence disabilities (e.g. visual/hearing impairments, and physical disabilities), and “increasing incidence” disabilities (e.g. autism spectrum disorders, traumatic brain injury, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) are studied from individual, family, school, community, sociological and historical perspectives. The effects of increased awareness, greater knowledge, medical advances, improved educational practices, and changes in social values are emphasized. There is a field work component.
Prerequisites: There is a course fee. This course is offered every semester.
