Intervention Specialist - Mild/Moderate

About

This program prepares teachers who already hold a valid Ohio teaching license to obtain a second Ohio license as an Intervention Specialist for students K-12 in Ohio’s schools who require Mild-Moderate degrees of educational intervention to be successful in school. Graduate students training to provide mild to moderate levels of educational intervention are prepared to be inclusive educators in K-12 settings.

Classes are offered in the evenings on three campuses – Main, Columbus, and Elyria – so as to be convenient to the working graduate student. This program can be taken to obtain licensure as an ISMM alone or as a major with a graduate core of courses that lead to a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree.

Training in Assistive Technology and the Public Law with respect to the provision of education to students with disabilities round out the curriculum that must be mastered by candidates for this license.
