The University's communication sciences and special education department is offering three new degree emphasis areas in special education, including one in autism and developmental disabilities. At the undergraduate level, the special education program is unique because of the high-caliber training available at the University, said Kevin Ayres, assistant professor in the department. He said students at other schools in the state don't have the same options. The University offers a graduate program in autism education as well — one of only a few in the country. The graduate program is funded through a grant and prepares teachers to use data-based practices that have been used for children with autism and other developmental disabilities. Teachers also learn to consult with families and other professionals and conduct applied research in the classroom with middle and high school students with autism. This grant is important because very little research has been conducted about adolescents with autism, said David Gast, special education professor. He said teachers should be using evidence-based practices when working with children with special needs. The work the graduate students do will advance the University's research in terms of what works for kids with autism, Ayres said. The graduate research contributes to what the undergraduate students learn. "It is a neat cycle to watch as our undergraduates succeed at one level then go on to earn their master's degrees and publish their own research, thus influencing our field," Ayres said. Autism is a growing field in special education, and these programs will help make it possible for more students to study this important subject, said Rachel Baginski, academic adviser for the department. She said it would provide more capable educators to Georgia schools than ever before. The school will also offer two other new emphases. The high-incidence emphasis is for students interested in teaching children with mild disabilities, such as learning or behavioral disorders. This program is offered on campus and also through SPECTRUM, an online, at-a-distance program. The birth-to-five emphasis gives students training, so they can work with younger individuals with disabilities. "It's exciting we can offer so many options, and we can specialize in undergraduate [programs]," said Audrey Norman, SPECTRUM student coordinator. "Autism is a growing field, and it's important for undergraduates to get in the classroom when there is such a need for special education and autism-trained professionals." The application deadline for the on-campus programs is Feb. 15. The SPECTRUM at-a-distance program deadline is April 1. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

QUINCY, Ill. (WGEM) -- Getting a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing just got a lot more convenient.

The unique program is an accelerated online format taught by full time Blesssing-Rieman professors.

Basic general education courses are also required for the degree but can be taken online through other accredited universities. "It's just a matter of convenience and something that we do well and we want to be able to offer it for people that are working, have families, and don't have the time to come to class," said Heather Mutter, Admissions Counselor for the College of Nursing. The online classes begin this fall, and there has already been a lot of interest from nurses across the region. Open houses for program:
