The health and wellness of the VT-HEC Community is of utmost importance in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak. In light of this, we plan to hold this course online with some synchronous online meeting days (see Schedule for dates). We know this is an evolving situation, and as it unfolds there may be other adjustments made to the delivery method, appropriate to the current situation. Thank you for your flexibility.

The focus of this course is to provide participants with the necessary components to create an effective school program for students with moderate to severe needs. Emphasis will be placed on choosing and utilizing appropriate assessments procedures, utilizing structured teaching strategies, creating individual educational programs, and collaboration in the general education setting. This course will look at all areas of development for children with moderate to severe disabilities including: cognitive, motor, social, communication, safety, domestic living, recreation/leisure.
