EDUC-SP 5516      Collaborating with Families and Other Professionals
This is a methods course in the master's degree sequence in special education of children and youth with mild/moderation disabilities. The course presents principles and procedures for fostering collaborative partnerships among family members, caregivers, educators, and human service personnel that lead to outcomes of individual and mutual empowerment. Candidates will engage in reflective thinking on their personal philosophical beliefs and interweave these beliefs with the skills needed to work with the multicultural issues facing families of children and youth with mild/moderate cross-categorical disabilities and other professionals. Prior to taking the course a background check must be completed in order to do the required 10 hour field experience for this course. The field experience will include observations and working with families of children and youth with disabilities and education professionals.
