Celebrate student achievements
There’s a huge demand – and a lifetime of rewards – for talented, empathetic, specialized teachers of students with special needs.
At DSU, we know that special needs educators do more than develop detailed, individualized plans and track the progress of each student. They understand children and understand how a disability can affect cognitive, social, and emotional function; they are able to employ strategies to help children manage their behavior and gain social skills. Special education teachers celebrate successes small and large - and those moments are etched in a teacher's heart.
Our Elementary Special Education degree offers you the confidence, tools, and skills essential to educate students of every ability. As this degree prepares you to be an elementary classroom teacher and a special education teacher, the techniques you learn will help all learners in your care within a regular education classroom or special education setting.
The Elementary Special Education degree is available online and on-campus, allowing you the flexibility to choose what is best for you.
