The learning disabilities program prepares teachers for the realities of today's classrooms. In the comprehensive program, candidates learn evidence-based practices for developing students with disabilities language, math, and social skills; for including these students in the general education curriculum; and for transitioning them from school to life.  Moreover, candidates apply this knowledge by working directly with students with disabilities in both clinical and school settings. 

In addition to qualifying candidates for the Michigan Department of Education's learning disabilities endorsement, the program can also culminate in a masters degree in special education with an emphasis in learning disabilities. 

Operated by Dr. James O. Grant, Dr. Paula Lancaster, and Dr. Joseph Fisher, the program has a state-wide reputation for excellence.
