Special Education

Fontbonne University’s tradition of excellence in special education is represented in its special education concentration. Career professionals who are committed to enhancing opportunities for students with special needs will find opportunities to grow in knowledge, skills, and dispositions through the courses, applied practices, and research to be found on topics of particular interest in their own practice through action research projects and directed readings. One may also choose to pursue professional interests in related graduate programs such as autism spectrum disorders, communication disorders, computers in education, diverse learners, or reading. Candidates may structure their programs to assist in meeting requirements for an endorsement in special education (cross-categorical,
K-12).
