Program Overview Those pursuing the certificate in educational therapy will learn how to work with young children, adolescents and adults who struggle with learning problems. Students of educational therapy will learn the latest instructional techniques and strategies in special education. The program covers administration and support of individual education plans, data collection and reporting, state and federal laws, and communication and family involvement. You will be trained in the most current and innovative approaches to providing resources and support for parents, guardians, and families of children with disabilities. Our Educational Therapy program thoroughly prepares educational specialists and tutors to serve students with special needs, emphasizing practical application and experience. Hence our course work tracks with the Association of Educational Therapist’s requirements and culminates in an internship. Because of our tight alignment with AET, students who have established candidacy for the full certificate are encouraged to apply for an AET associate level membership. To Qualify as a Certified Educational Therapist The Certificate in Educational Therapy issued by UCSC Extension is an important first step. However, there are additional requirements to qualify as a professional member in the Association of Educational Therapists (AET) and yet more requirements to qualify as a Certified Educational Therapist with AET. To learn more about the requirements, call (818) 843-1183, visit www.aetonline.org, or attend the free program orientation. Certificate Requirements To obtain the Certificate in Educational Therapy, you must successfully complete “Educational Therapy Orienta tion,” 26 units of required courses, and 4 units of elective courses. Candidates must achieve an overall 3.0 grade-point average (GPA) for all required and elective courses. Please refer to our Web site, ucsc-extension.edu/gpa, for our GPA calculator. As you make your way through the courses and internship, you will compile a portfolio for review by the program coordinator and advisory board.
