SPED101: Creating Effective Learning Environments for Students with Special Needs

MUSEC offers a single introductory unit at undergraduate level. SPED101  explores the nature of disability and other special learning needs. Broadly based on a non-categorical model, the emphasis is on what research has determined to be the most effective modes of instruction for students with special needs. The unit also focusses on the features of a scientific approach to education and assists to equip students to become informed consumers of research.

SPED101 is available to all students and is particularly relevant to those studying psychology, linguistics and the humanities as well as education. Students interested in obtaining a recognised qualification in special education should investigate the postgraduate offerings by MUSEC.
