Bachelor of Arts in Intervention Specialist

Program Overview

As an Intervention Specialist major at UD, you will prepare to teach students with mild to intense disabilities from Kindergarten through 12th grade. This comprehensive four-year program combines coursework in development, collaboration, content, law, and instructional practices. Upon completion, you will earn two Ohio teaching licenses: Intervention Specialist Mild to Moderate K-12 and Intervention Specialist Moderate to Intense K-12.

The program offers flexibility to add additional credentials to your teaching license, allowing you to enhance your expertise and resume. You may choose to pursue a minor, such as, but not limited to, Disability Studies or Social Work, or a university certificate in areas like Dyslexia, Urban Teacher Academy, Catholic Education, or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Alternatively, you can earn a state endorsement in Preschool Special Needs. These credentials will enrich your professional qualifications and prepare you to teach in diverse educational settings.

Your education includes on-campus lecture-style courses combined with hands-on application alongside your peers. The program features 800 field hours in local schools, which is double the state of Ohio’s requirement. These extensive field experiences will enhance your readiness for your full-time student teaching placement. During this time, you will receive formative supervision to support your ongoing growth and development as an educator.
