Special Education Department Doctors and researchers report each year a certain percentage of children beginning school have some form of learning disability, many of which can be corrected. While this is a large field of the Special Education Department, work is also done with the gifted child, also at a disadvan- tage by being far ahead of other school children. Under the direction of acting head Dr. Helon Harwell, two three-week work- shops were held bythe department. A workshop on the Psychology of Behavior Management was held July 7- 26, and the Psychology and Education of Gifted and Talented Children was held June 14-July 2. Future plans are to create a program of classes for gifted children, similar to what is being done at other state universities. Student work in the fields of instruction and therapy are monitored by the depart- ment. Students enrolled in the special educa- tion program must complete a major in elementary education. Certification in special education can be added in secondary education too. One member of the department, Bob- ert Angelloz, an assistant professor, com- pleted and received his doctorate. 1' 'six S' lg 'Ll 0 'rv' 1 Il an 'og' 'fri-giei.'Qi itz- ,,.-- e 435- XL l 5f'.x'3w.7.'tz,-iw ' , .rf Psychology Club: First row: Kim Gautreaux, Doro- thy Guidry, Buck Nord, Brian Naquin and William Lindley.
