Special Needs Education equips students with the knowledge and skills to support individuals living with physical, intellectual, sensory, and developmental disabilities. Students explore subjects including psychology of exceptional children, audiological rehabilitation, Braille literacy, speech therapy fundamentals, and inclusive classroom management. The programme blends theory with practical field experience, preparing graduates to serve diverse learners effectively. Upon graduation, students can pursue careers as special education teachers in public and private schools, rehabilitation officers, educational psychologists, or disability advocacy consultants with government agencies and NGOs. The Teaching Service Commission and the Special Education Teachers Association of Nigeria provide professional frameworks guiding practice in this field. The programme remains highly relevant given Nigeria's growing commitment to inclusive education policies.
