University of Pittsburgh Early Intervention Program

University of Pittsburgh Early Intervention Program The Early Intervention Specialization in the Special Education Program focuses on young children with disabilities (ages birth to five) and their families.

As a field, early intervention promotes the following benefits in this population:

- Minimizes the potential for developmental delay and reducing the impact of disabling conditions.
- Reduces the overall cost of educational services through prevention and attenuation.
- Enhances the capabilities of families to meet the needs of their children.
- Minimizes the likelihood of institutionalization

of children with special needs.
- Maximizes the developmental potential of young children to eventually live independently in society. The program incorporates material about the wide-variety of program types in which young children are served including their homes, schools, centers, clinics, hospitals, and community settings. Natural and other inclusive environments are stressed. Degree and Certification options:
• Master of Education (MEd)
• MEd with Autism Specialization
