Lynch School of Education & Human Development
In the modern world there are many differing perspectives about the significance of disabilities. In this course we examine both "medical model" perspectives on the origin and nature of disabilities, as rooted in the scientific method, and post-modern critical perspectives. Cultural influences on how those perspectives are valued will also be considered. Differing approaches to special education practice--both service delivery systems and interventions--will be critically compared to the thought traditions. The ethics and social value of special education will also be considered.
