Course Description
Developmental Teaching for Students with Special Needs is an Internet-based professional development series for educators working with students who have severe social, emotional, and behavioral disabilities, autism, Asperger Syndrome, or other sensory-integrative disorders affecting behavior, learning, and social interactions. The course series is designed to help educators integrate Developmental Therapy-Teaching practices (DTT) into their own programs to improve outcomes for their students.
The full course includes four independent content modules, each of which has been approved by the Georgia Department of Education for 2 Professional Learning Units (PLU) or 2 Continuing Education Credits (CEU) by the University of Georgia. The modules are
Module One: A Developmental Approach to Classroom Teaching
Module Two: Developmental Assessment for Curriculum Planning and Instruction
Module Three: Unseen Forces at Work in the Classroom
Module Four: Getting Started in Your Own Classroom
Individuals who complete the course series successfully will have increased understanding of the many complex processes underlying student behavior. They will learn to conduct development assessments, plan individualized education programs meeting the learning needs of students with SEBD, use positive behavior management interventions, apply group dynamics in the classroom, guide students’ progress, and design strategies for difficult teaching situations with severely emotionally or behaviorally disabled students.
