The Special Education research group has an emphasis on understanding and ameliorating challenges to learning in a lifelong perspective. Within this overarching theme, researchers pursue a number of interests and projects. The members of the group have developed collaborative relationships with other research environments both nationally and internationally. Some of our interest areas include:
- Creating and sustaining inclusive learning environments
- Early intervention and social-emotional development in early childhood
- Capacity building and innovation
- Special and inclusive educational policy
- Learning difficulties and basic skill attainment
- Speech and language impairments
- Evaluation and measurement
- Disability studies
- Social, emotional, and behavioral challenges
- Family-centered services and multi-disciplinary collaboration
- Tensions between system and individual perspectives
