The M.A. and professional degree in teacher preparation in the field of severe and multiple disabilities prepares aspiring educators to teach students with moderate to severe developmental, intellectual, and multiple disabilities, including students with deafblindness, and autism with concurrent cognitive, sensory and physical support needs. The program is founded upon an inclusive education and person-centered approach integrating evidence-based practices with an emphasis on augmentative and alternative communication strategies and curricular adaptations and modifications for instructing students with extensive support needs in K-12, and post-secondary education. Students who successfully complete the program and student teaching are eligible to apply for the Provisional Moderate to Severe (K-12) Special Education Teaching Certificate in the state of Arizona, which often has reciprocity in other states.
