BAE Exceptionality & Disability

... United States
... Western Washington University

Course Overview

Completion of this major results in a BA in Education. Students who complete this major typically seek employment as a paraeducator or in non-school settings, such as health and human services and non-profit organizations; they do not qualify for a teaching certificate. With their advisor’s permission and input, students choose an area of emphasis and design a program of study in preparation to work with persons with disabilities across a variety of settings.

Why consider the Exceptionality and Disability Major?

Many professionals work with persons with disabilities in a variety of venues and do not require the same pedagogical knowledge base that is expected of special education teachers. However, to effectively advocate for and to work with individuals with disabilities, it is imperative that professionals have a solid background in a variety of topics central to the provision of support for individuals with disabilities. We, in the Department of Education Leadership and Inclusive Teaching, believe that professionals should support individuals with disabilities in accessing inclusive community opportunities that are available to persons without disabilities. A major in Exceptionality and Disability provides foundational knowledge to professionals who interface across a variety of settings, including school, home, agencies, and community. Students in this major can choose from several emphasis options, depending upon their interest and expectations for future employment.
