Special Education Program

The Ph.D. program in Special Education is an interdisciplinary program that brings together scholars from education of children and adults with special needs, rehabilitation sciences, and disability studies. The mission of the Ph.D. program is to provide leadership personnel in academic, research and clinical settings concerned with the scientific study of human development and everyday life of individuals with special needs. Current research projects focus on inclusive education of children with disabilities, assessment, and intervention of individuals with learning disabilities, language impairment, autism, empowerment, and equal rights for people with disabilities, neurorehabilitation, among others. While it is our goal to provide students with individualized programs to meet their academic and career objectives, we also believe that all students need a basic understanding across fields of specialization.
