EDU 103DX - Education of Children with Special Needs, 2 credit hours

Prerequisite/Corequisite: EDU 101X may be taken concurrently. For music therapy or music education students either MUC 151 or MUC 171X are co or prereqs. This course includes a field experience (one day meets in class, one day is devoted to field experience). To complete the experiential requirement, BOTH EDU 101X and EDU 103DX must be completed at BW.

This is a survey course designed to introduce the students to characteristics of learners with special learning, physical and emotional needs. Public laws, court cases, teaching and accommodation strategies will be explored as they relate to trends in reaching students with disabilities, gifts and talents, and diverse cultural needs in both special education and inclusive K-12 settings.

A field experience is required.
