Students who are interested in working with young children who have or are at risk for developmental delays or disabilities are encouraged to apply to work towards their Early Intervention Certificate, a collaborative venture with the Special Education Program.
The Kent State Early Intervention Certificate program prepares students to be Developmental Specialists in the State of Ohio. This qualification would be in addition to their MA in SLP and ASHA certification in Speech Language Pathology. Students who opt to participate in this program add three semesters, or one full year, to their MA program. Full scholarships are available for this full-time, transdisciplinary certificate.
