Description:
Area Education Agency (AEA) 267 uses the problem solving process as a means of intervening in the general education setting rather than the traditional model of “test and place” which ultimately leads to identifying students for special education services. Graduate students placed at AEA 267 will be involved in data-based problem solving in the general education setting, in developing educational interventions and in designing special education programs for children with disabilities. AEA 267 staff work with individuals and their families from birth to age 21. Students may be expected to work with students individually and in groups in the education setting. There may be liaison work within the community to obtain additional services for individuals and their families outside of the educational setting.
