Course Work
This program is based on approved state agency coursework and practica at the University of Utah and Utah State University. Many courses are available in a distance education format for eligible students. A comprehensive course of study to address the critical issues in early intervention/preschool (Birth-5) or elementary/secondary (K-12) education for children and youth with sensory impairments and their families is provided. Faculty from both universities work collaboratively to deliver an integrated program of study and practica experiences to ensure a cohesive and multi-disciplinary approach.
Field Experience
Practicum training sites are located inprograms around the state where children and youthwith vision or hearing impairments are currently being served. These sites include early intervention programs, the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, and local school district pre-schools and K-12 classrooms. Supervision of university students in these sites is provided by the project field supervisors. These individuals have considerable experience in clinical supervision and consultation and provide ongoing support to students in this program.
