Disability policy and services
This field of study is designed for both graduate and
undergraduate students as well as practicing professionals who are
interested in policies and services related to people with
disabilities.
The program offers a broad understanding of the disability
services system from an interdisciplinary perspective, exploring
contemporary theories and practices of serving people with
disabilities. Classes address the needs of people with all types of
disabilities but emphasize developmental disabilities.
