Program details

Overview

Techniques d'éducation spécialisée est un programme technique (351.A1) du Cégep du Vieux Montréal menant au DEC, formant à l'intervention auprès de personnes ou de groupes connaissant, ou susceptibles de connaître, des difficultés d'adaptation variées. La formation vise à développer la capacité d'offrir un accompagnement dans un contexte de vie quotidienne et d'élaborer et d'appliquer des plans d'intervention en collaboration avec différents partenaires du milieu. Le programme comprend des stages, dont certains à portée internationale, ainsi que des projets spéciaux et l'accès à un service de soutien et à une matériathèque propres au programme. L'approche pédagogique est présentée comme fortement axée sur la pratique, où l'aide apportée à autrui occupe une place centrale dans la formation. Cette formation convient aux étudiantes et étudiants intéressés par l'intervention psychosociale et éducative auprès de clientèles vivant des difficultés d'adaptation, qui souhaitent exercer par la suite le métier de technicienne ou technicien en éducation spécialisée dans des milieux tels que les écoles, les centres jeunesse ou les organismes communautaires.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Cégep du Vieux Montréal's admission page for Techniques d'éducation spécialisée states that the programme follows the college's general admission conditions, with no additional secondary-course prerequisites published for this programme. Domestic applicants need a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) or Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP), having completed the standard secondary French, second-language and mathematics courses, or an equivalent Canadian diploma such as the Ontario Secondary School Diploma; applications go through the SRAM portal (admission.sram.qc.ca), which ranks candidates by Secondary 4 and 5 grades and course averages, with a bonus for advanced math or science selections, and some programmes add an audition or aptitude test.
