Lesley University's School of Education Master's in Special Education degree programs prepare teachers to work with a diversity of students with special needs, educating reflective practitioners and inspiring lifelong learning. Strategies for inclusive learning, new technologies, transitional planning, non-discriminatory assessment, and a multicultural and bilingual perspective are addressed in courses and themes throughout the program.
The Special Education programs at Lesley University provide teachers with the skills to give those with learning or developmental disabilities the opportunity to reach their full potential as learners. The programs for students with severe disabilities emphasize functional curriculum, applied academics, vocational strategies and school and community inclusion.
