  Special Education Program Faculty
   
 

The faculty and students of the Special Education Program appreciate the academic benefits of being connected to the world. As a department on the leading edge of new research and technical advances, connectivity to other groups of learners helps us stay on top of the ever expanding body of knowledge on the development of individuals at all ages. In addition to realizing the importance of research, faculty in Special Education note that teaching is their most important role.
