Steven McKnoulty

An enthusiasm for technology innovation helped Special Education graduate Steven McKnoulty prepare his students to be techno-savvy. ‘When a child writes their name, or counts independently, or even eats with a spoon with minimal spillage for the first time—it reminds me I am in the right profession,’ Steven said.

Our Special Education degrees will help you become a learning specialist who is skilled in learning diversity and capable of teaching in regular school settings as well as special schools and special education units. So if you’re looking for a teaching career with difference, consider our special education degrees.  

What is special education?

Special education is the practice of teaching children with special needs in a way that meets their differences and needs, including physical disabilities, challenges with learning, communication challenges, emotional and behavioural disorders.
