Pre-Kindergarten Special Needs Endorsement

The Department of Teacher Education offers the Pre-Kindergarten Special Needs Endorsement (formerly the Early Education of the Handicapped Validation).

This endorsement can be added to an existing pre-kindergarten certificate, a special education certificate, or a intervention specialist or early childhood license and allows teachers to teach children ages 3-5 who have mild, moderate, to intensive needs.

The endorsement can be earned as part of an undergraduate or graduate degree program or added to an existing standard teaching certificate/license.
