The Intervention Specialist Education program prepares you to be a highly qualified teacher with an understanding of the learner at various ages and stages of development, and from various cultures, socioeconomic levels, ethnic groups and ranges of abilities. You will learn how family diversity (i.e. economic, linguistic, cultural and ethnic lines) impacts the learner, as well as understand how disabilities affect each learner.

As an intervention specialist major, you'll learn and teach in a variety of classrooms, community settings and job sites. These field and clinical experiences provide you with firsthand knowledge of the typical and divergent learner. Through clinical activities, field experiences and student teaching, you'll have multiple opportunities to plan for groups and individual students.
