The specialization in Special Education aims to prepare competent educators in the field of special education for the first and second cycles of basic education. These educators will be able to care for children with special needs from educational, psychological, and social perspectives and to develop their abilities to the fullest extent possible. This is achieved by providing them with the theoretical knowledge necessary to understand these groups and their needs, along with equipping them with the skills required for educational intervention processes, such as specific teaching strategies, creating individualized education plans, adapting curricula, and behavior techniques. Additionally, students gain practical experience through specialized training within the study program.

Given the significant attention this group receives today and the trend among public and private educational institutions to adopt the inclusion of children with special needs in regular schools to create inclusive environments, the demand for educators in this field is increasing. This creates a wide job market from which students in this specialization can benefit.
