Designed for experienced educators to critically engage with current thinking and ideas about inclusive and specialist education, this program will develop your knowledge of specific learning difficulties and enable you to become a perceptive practitioner who is able to use research to inform your own practice.
The program provides a firm grounding in understanding a range of special needs in children of various ages, as well as effective teaching strategies and lesson planning for these groups. Theory and practice is combined in special needs classroom instruction and extensive clinical experiences, with individual guidance being key.
You will leave the program equipped to tackle the challenges that come from working with students who have special physical, emotional, intellectual or emotional needs, as well as tools to deal with disruptive behavior and gifted students alike.
Our unique six term structure offers you ultimate flexibility in terms of start date and study schedule and means you can complete the program in one year. This also allows you to better manage your workload as you take only two courses per term delivered in the evenings and weekends. If professional or personal commitments dictate that you need to miss a term, it is easy to catch up.  Ours is the only such program in the UAE that offers such flexibility.
