Master of Arts [M.A] [Special Education for Children with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities] From George Washington University

Special Education for Children with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities (EBD) is an intensive, one-year, full-time master’s program that prepares graduate students to be highly qualified educators of students with learning, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Using a Psychoeducational approach, graduate students in the program gain the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to facilitate effective instruction and improve outcomes for students in this unique and challenging population. 

The hallmark of the program is its emphasis on clinical preparation, as graduate students have the opportunity to work directly with students with disabilities in a therapeutic school during the day, as well as to complete graduate level courses in the evenings.
