College programs
for special needs

Providing specialized training to pedple with special
needs is the aim of one of Selkirk College's hewest
programs.

Operating out of the Castlegar Campus as part of the
Human Services Department, the special needs program
has been designed for those currently employed with agen:
cies meeting the needs Of Those with mental and/or physical
handicaps.

In addition, the program provides an extended
training option to graduates ofa social service worker
program or an early childhood education program who
wish to work with handicapped adults or children

**A needs survey indicated a high degree of demand for
this kind of training in the Kootenay region,”” said Jan Lin
dsay, who together with social service worker instructor
Phyllis Nash, and early childhood education instructor
Judy Pollard, spent the past several months on curriculum
development for the speciatneeds program

Questionnaires were sent to all organizations em
ploying special needs para-professionals, and the response
indicated a potential enrolment of 40 individuals among
those\currently working in preschool and day care ventres
across the region

In developmental group homes, community service
agencies, and school districts, there are currently 153 em
ployees working with the special needs population and a
projected increase of 141 additional positions over the next
two years. This due in part to the closure of Woodlands and
the return of approximately 40 mentally handicapped in
dividuals to the Kootenay region

In addition, Lindsay pointed out that social service
worker graduates may seek post-basic training to work
more effectively with: handicapped and dependent-aged
populations.

To meet this demand, Selkirk College began offering
Two of The Courses That make-up part-of-the-special-necds
curticulum in January

“We've begun with two, so students working in the
field can take courses on a part-time basis, while they
work,"’ Lindsay said 2

Of the inaugural courses, one is an introductory
special needs course while the other, augmentative com:
munication, explores alternative forms of communication
for children and adulis wishHtrtfor no speech

The special needs program is slated to begin full-time
in September and will offer students a choice of three

streams of instruction
qualifications.

Stream one has been designed for those without
credentials in either the social service worker or the early
childhood education field, but who have a minimum of one
year experience in the fieldof special needs.

Stream two is designed for graduates of a recognized
social service Worker program or its equivalent. The third
stream is for graduates of a recognized early childhood
education program.

‘The ECE and the SSW program have’ a thread of
commonality running though them, but each emphasize
different areas of competency," Lindsay said. “In either
case, the special needs program will provide the post-basic
training required to work effectively with juvenile or adult
special needs populations.”

The program offers a core curriculum comprised of
eight specialty courses over a 15-week and a 19-week
semester with a practicum interspetsed in the middle. of the
second semester, Those already employed. in the field will
be able to use their position to meet practicum requiremen:
ts

depending upon the student's

*We are scheduling courses to allow study on a part
time basis to accommodate those already employed who
would like to upgrade their credentials,”’ Lindsay said. She
said some courses will be offered in the evening or blocked
into four two-day workshops so those with jobs could at-
tend.

““A- conscientious -part-time student could complete
the program in approximately two years," she said

Lindsay listed the types of jobs for which graduates of
the program would be suitable. These include: special
needs-pre-school teachers, residential support workers,
self-help workers, special needs child care workers, tutors,
or personal care attendants in the public. school system,
xecrealion therapisis, and vocational support workers,
