SWK 3560 Children with Special Needs
(formerly SWK 356)
Children with learning challenges and disabilities need more than individual therapy to succeed, and they are not the only ones who face difficulties because of their special needs. Families require support to understand their children, deal with their own feelings about having a child with special needs, find appropriate services and resources, and navigate the special education system. This course will provide an overview of disabilities and disorders in children, their impact on social and emotional functioning, and will explore insights and strategies for working with children and families through a systems approach to intervention.
