HDOSE Team

Supporting Innovation, Research, and Student Success

The faculty and staff of the School of Special Education, School Psychology, and Early Childhood Studies (SESPECS) are dedicated to advancing knowledge, fostering inclusive educational practices, and preparing future leaders in education and human development.

Our community brings together scholars, educators, researchers, and professional staff who collaborate across disciplines to promote early learning, support the development and well-being of children and youth, and improve outcomes for individuals with disabilities and their families. Through teaching, research, service, and community partnerships, SESPECS personnel work to address real-world challenges in schools and communities while shaping effective educational policy and practice.
