Course
Description: The purpose of this introductory course is to provide a
foundation of legal, social, educational, medical, and psychological concepts
that focus on an understanding of who exceptional children are. The Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act and corresponding state regulations provide the basis for understanding the
definitions of thirteen areas of exceptionality and their means of
identification. The definitions are
developed with knowledge of the social, cultural, and family context in which
exceptional children live and learn.
General characteristics of each area of disability ad of giftedness are
related to typical developmental and educational expectations. The framework for understanding intervention
strategies from birth to adulthood includes procedural requirements as well as
discussions of different etiological perspectives: medical, cultural,
behavioral, and cognitive processing.
Also provided are overviews of various educational approaches to
instructional intervention for students with exceptionalities.
Prerequisites: ED 200 (Intro to
Teaching), Ed 210 (Professional Laboratory Experience), ED 300 (Educational

Withdrawal from
Classes Policy:
After the last
day for class changes has passed (see College calendar), students may withdraw
from a course in which they are registered with permission from the faculty
member conducting the course. A written request detailing the reason(s) for the
withdrawal must be filed with the Registrar. The Registrar must receive written
request for withdrawal by the last day of classes prior to the final
examination dates specified in the catalogue. Written requests may be mailed to
the Registrar or faxed to the College fax number 219-473-4259. Students are to
make note of the refund schedule when withdrawing from courses. The request is
forwarded to the faculty member, who makes the final determination to accept or
deny the request. If the request is honored, the student will receive
notification of official withdrawal; if denied, the notification will indicate
why the withdrawal is disallowed.
An official
withdrawal is recorded as a "W" grade on the student's transcript.
Dropping a course without written permission automatically incurs an
"F" grade for the course (see Refund Schedule).
