Center
for Learning and Leadership
A University Center for
Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD)
Registry Training for Special Education Professionals is approved training in five federal criteria areas: autism, traumatic brain injury, multiple disabilities and deaf/blindness and other health impairment. These are areas for which no Oklahoma special education certification exists. Effective January 1, 1994, the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) made this 32-hour training a requirement for special education teachers serving students in any of these areas. The organization of these trainings and maintenance of training data are coordinated by The Center for Learning and Leadership through a contract with the OSDE. This project is in its fifteenth year of implementation.
Training content is developed and presented in a way that helps teachers use what they learn in their school settings. Content is divided into four components:
- overview: provides a basic understanding of the disability category and implications for educational evaluation and programming
- family and self-advocate perspectives: provided by individuals with disabilities and family members who discuss their personal experiences with public school services
- hands on strategies: achieved through utilization of individual student profiles provided by participants and presenters; participants work in teams to interpret evaluation information, determine what additional information is needed, what additional expertise or resources may be needed, and how to formulate goals and objectives collaboratively with families
