Early Childhood Special Education Approval

The State of Illinois requires that educators obtain special approval to teach early childhood classes having children with special needs at the ages and grade level of the type 04 certificate, pre K - grade 3.  The completion of the following four courses (12 credits) will enable Roosevelt University to recommend students for this special approval:

• ECHD 305/405, Assessment in Early Childhood Education
• ECHD 309/409, Child, Family, and Community
• ECHD 334/434, Language Development
• ECHD 382/482, Early Childhood Special Education Methods

Please note that these courses are open to undergraduates and graduate students, as well as practicing teachers in the field.  Practicing teachers should apply for admission to the College of Education as students-at-large.
