The Special Education program at UBC concerns the education of students with exceptionalities, such as students with visual impairments, physical
disabilities, emotional or behavioural disorders,
learning disabilities, gifts and talents, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Faculty are committed to promoting practices that facilitate inclusion, empowerment, and self-determination of individuals with disabilities and other special needs in home, school, and community settings.
The Masters programs focus on both research
and practice. Topics addressed in the Masters
programs include cognitive, language and social
development, learning and instructional design,
cultural and individual differences in relation
to exceptional students.
