Clarion University develops 2 new special ed certificates

From staff reports

Clarion University’s special education department has developed two new certificates in response to the need for educators trained in evidence-based methods to serve students with challenging behavioral support needs.

Certificates are available at the undergraduate (assistant applied behavior analyst and competent learner model certificate) and graduate (applied behavior analyst and competent learner model certificate) levels.

Prospective students include anyone seeking a behaviorally focused undergraduate degree or master’s degree in special education, or anyone already holding a degree in education, psychology or applied behavior analysis who wants to further his/her knowledge.

The university says these skills support educators, behavior specialists, therapeutic support staff or any career working with others.
