One of the biggest challenges that teachers face is to find ways to succeed with all of their students, not just those with whom they have a natural affinity. Too often we accept that we simply cannot reach all students, and to approach some students as unsolvable puzzles - less able or less inclined. Even the most talented and well-trained teacher can find many students difficult to work with. Often these problems are rooted in substantive emotional and/or behavior issues, but more often our difficulty understanding or promoting the success of particular students is a result of fundamental incongruities in cognitive preferences and learning styles.
Enter the Special Education Teacher Assistant Diploma program. Our 9.5 month diploma is geared to train students to assist teachers in the classroom and the resource room with children who have learning disabilities or emotional/behavioral disorders.
Updated and reviewed every year, the program includes Non-Violent Crisis Intervention and Applied Behavioral Analysis. We have also added a full module on Autism Spectrum Disorders and a full module on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. These two modules give the student two further certificates as well as the diploma. The Orton Gillingham Introductory course to Dyslexia has also been added to the certificate list.
