Who do I contact for information in the Special Education program?

<p>I’m confused about the difference between the Early Childhood Special Education and Early Childhood Dual Certification and the Multiple Abilities Program. It seems as if the MAP is more hands-on and has semesters over the summer, while the ECSE/EC is more traditional with education classes and a field experience. Other than that, I’m lost, and I don’t know which program would be better for me (although I know I don’t need to decide now, it’s nice to know my options). Who do I contact for this information? </p>

<p>If any of you know the difference between the two, I would appreciate your input!</p>

<p>I’ve had very good luck when I’ve contacted Dr. Rebecca Ballard in Dean’s office of the Col of Ed. She can clarify your concerns or direct you to the right person.</p>
