The Special Education: Early Childhood program at the University
of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UW-EC) is a university system and State
Department of Public Instruction approved program which prepares
teachers for Wisconsin Special Education: Early Childhood certification.
This certification is also recognized by many other states.
The teacher certified in Special Education: Early Childhood

of their training the student will be prepared to work in various
types of service delivery systems (i.e., center, homes, schools,
and clinics), to coordinate intervention efforts with the child's
primary care provider (e.g., parents), to function in a multidisciplinary
team setting and to work with children on a non-categorical
basis.
