Special Education with a Concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis (M.A.)

For Candidates with a Standard Instructional Certificate

If you are a general education teacher, or a special education teacher co-teaching within an inclusive class, you are serving students with a variety of special needs, including students with autism. Both groups of students require different learning strategies and the M.A. will offer the candidate the necessary tools to meet their needs.
