During this presentation, you will hear how a dual credit high school developed a modified/adjusted pathway for high school Special Education students wanting to explore a career in Early Childhood.  We will discuss the vision behind the coursework, development of curriculum, and how the experience aligns with our CTE goals as a school and district.  Participants will not only hear about this program, but will also discuss other ways to modify career-based programming for high school SE students.
