Graduates who hold a Special Education certificate are qualified to render diagnostic, prescriptive, and education services designed within an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to serve students having one or more disabilities. They may also assist in writing the IEP for the identified students, provide appropriate modification to curricula, and provide instructional support as outlined in the IEP.

We strongly believe in placing students into the field and into as many different classroom environments as possible.
