Inclusive Special Education- Bachelor of Science in Education with Licensure
Many school-aged children in the United States need accommodations and modifications to fully benefit from the standard curriculum offered in schools. Because of physical, mental, behavioral, learning, or sensory differences, these students require special services to help them learn to their maximum capacity in inclusive environments. Inclusive special education is designed to recognize these differences and to implement elements of Universal Design for Learning and to develop individualized instructional plans. This program prepares you for licensure as a special education teacher, also known as Intervention Specialist, in Ohio Public Schools from kindergarten through grade 12.
This major leads to the Bachelor of Science in Education with Ohio residency licensure in Intervention Specialist - Mild-Moderate/Moderate-Intensive. Field and/or clinical experience is combined with academic coursework sophomore through senior years. In order to complete the degree requirements in four years, students are encouraged to select the major no later than the spring semester of the first year.
