The Department of Special Education........

The Special Education Program at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh prepares highly skilled teachers (both undergraduate and graduate) who practice in a manner consistent with the Council for Exceptional Children's Code of Ethics and Standards for Professional Practice. The program emphasizes early and intensive practicum experiences combined with instruction which translates theory into research-based best educational practices in cross categorical and early childhood special education programs. These programs serve children with cognitive, emotional/behavioral, and learning disabilities across the age span from birth to 21 and across level of disability. Our goal is to prepare special educational leaders who will possess the knowledge, skills, and dispositionsto command respect for themselves, their profession, and to empower others.
