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.
