Diploma in Techniques d'éducation spécialisée

Specialized Education Techniques is a three-year Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) at Collège Lionel-Groulx, program code 351.A1, with intake in the Fall term. The program trains specialized educators to intervene with and support people of all ages facing a range of adaptation challenges, including physical disabilities, language disorders, learning difficulties, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, behavioural difficulties, and mental-health concerns. Students gain field experience from early in the program, complete three practicums in varied settings, and build a professional portfolio, supported by simulated intervention practice. Graduates find work in hospitals, youth centres, rehabilitation centres, schools, group homes, long-term care facilities, and community organizations. Admission follows the college's general CEGEP admission conditions, and applications are submitted online through SRAM.
