Clarion University’s College of Education, Health and Human Services has been notified its Master of Science in Special Education reading specialist program has earned reaccreditation by the International Dyslexia Association.
Clarion is one of six universities in Pennsylvania and the only university in Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education with an IDA-accredited program.
“Students who have problems reading, spelling and writing often puzzle teachers and end up frustrated. These students have the ability to learn as much as others, however, they experience unique obstacles,” said Rick Sabousky, chairman of Clarion’s Department of Special Education and Disability Policy Studies. “These students may be dealing with dyslexia (reading problems), dysgraphia (writing problems), or other neurological disorders that get in the way of everyday learning experiences,” Sabousky added.
