Special education students who graduate from Clarion University receive certification to teach students with mental and/or physical disabilities in elementary and secondary schools. This encompasses children who may be emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, physically disabled, and who have all levels of mental retardation. The special education program has identified specific professional competencies regarded as essential for performance as a diagnostic prescriptive teacher of children who have special needs.
The Rehabilitative Sciences Program is an interdisciplinary program which combines the teaching resources of the biology, health and physical education, nursing, psychology, rehabilitative sciences, and sociology faculties of Clarion University. The program prepares students to assume professional human service positions in aging, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse service delivery systems, or continue on in graduate study.
