3 semester hours
Prerequisite(s): SCPY 705
Based upon differential diagnosis through formal and informal assessment, implementation of the legally mandated individual educational program for each child in a special education class will be the focus of this course. A variety of individual and group remedial techniques are examined in order to improve learning. Role behavior modification, drug treatment, diet adjustment, role-playing, and counseling as they related to remediation will be discussed. To maximize the effectiveness of day-by-day activities in the classroom, the need to constantly review the factors which disrupt processes and the procedures which enhance learning will be stressed.
