Each program in the Department of Education assists students on their professional journeys to serve the needs of young people, families, and communities.

The Special Education Program

Special Education at UVM

The Special Education Program strives to meet the needs of educators who serve students with diverse strengths, needs, talents, and abilities. Our goal is to provide educators with knowledge and skills in working with students, parents, teachers, administrators, human service providers, and employers. We seek to promote the success of all students through creating a collaborative, strengths-based climate in which students, their families, and school staff feel cared for, respected, and supported.

The Special Education Program is dedicated to the belief that all students have worth and dignity and that schools and communities can create environments in which all students achieve personal excellence. Program course work has been designed to meet the needs of educators who serve students with diverse strengths, needs, talents and abilities.
