SPED 618 - Developing Integrated Language and Literacy Programs for Students with Disabilities

Institution:

Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Special Education

Description:

This course is designed to provide graduate students an in-depth examination of an integrated (culturally relevant) language system. In particular graduate students will understand the essential components of reading including phonological awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, language, and word study. Students will determine how these areas of reading pose challenges for students with identified disabilities. Graduate students will also develop competency in assessing students suspected of having reading and language deficits as well as plan appropriate individualized instruction for students using scientifically research based instructional practices. Because reading is only one part of an integrated language system, students will also develop a conceptual understanding of the components of writing and plan effective instruction for students with disabilities in the area of writing and expressive communication.
