Special Psychopedagogy

Special Education students study main topics from both general and special education. In special education they acquire the competences - fundamental knowledge, skills and attitudes - covering the main psycho-pedagogical aspects of working with children and youngsters presenting special educational needs – derived from disabilities, from language disorders and other learning difficulties or from behavior difficulties (disorders).
There are also opportunities for graduates to work inside child protection institutions and/or nongovernmental structures - such as day centers – in various areas of disabilities and other special educational needs.
The main employment opportunities are:
- special education teacher in special kindergartens and special schools for children with various types of disabilities;
- support teacher in integrated or in inclusive education for children with special educational needs (incuding those with disabilities);
- speech therapist in various proffessional settings;
- educational counsellor in schools;
