This course focuses on specific frameworks of learning with expansion and application to those students who may have learning challenges in various developmental phases. Historical perspectives of learning and behavior challenges will be discussed in light of current theories of exceptionalities. Emphasis will be placed on how students with exceptional needs learn in both academic and social settings. Special emphasis will be placed on identification and exploration of students with associated language disorders. Students will be required to apply the the Lewis graduate school prior to the start of this class. Please contact Sarah Baumbach for information on this. There will also be a $100.00 technology fee charged directly by Lewis per term.
