Special Education Techniques
About the program
Special Education Technicians are trained to work with people of all ages and diverse needs. The essence of their role is to develop relationships that provide support and guidance to enhance clients’ development, adaptation, and quality of life.
Students develop competencies to work with a variety of client-groups such as individuals with physical, neurological, or intellectual impairments, mental health issues, substance abuse problems, behavior, language, and/or learning difficulties, seniors in loss of autonomy, and victims of violence.
The main places of employment are rehabilitation centres, short and long-term care facilities, psychiatric hospitals, adapted work centres, schools, CLSC’s, community organizations, group homes, day centres, and halfway houses.
