Course summary

The family-centered early education (FCEE) specialization in education of deaf and hard of hearing children prepares specialists to work with children from birth through 5 years of age who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have multiple disabilities, and their families. Graduates are prepared to fill a variety of roles including early childhood specialist, parent/family educator and consultant, family-child advocate, program developer and manager, and trans disciplinary team member. As such, graduates are qualified to work in public school, clinic, and special school settings with home or center-based early education programs. The course of study in the family-centered early education specialization leads to state licensure in Special Education/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (K-12) and to Council on Education of the Deaf (CED) certification in infant/preprimary. An endorsement in Early Childhood Special Education may be recommended if the candidate has obtained an initial D.C. license in Early Childhood Education (P-3).
