Which type of courses should be offered in colleges and universities to train teachers in handling PWDs?

• A. Special Education courses
• B. Business Administration
• C. Computer Science
• D. Physical Education

Answer: (A)

Handling students with disabilities requires teachers to understand diverse needs and use inclusive, adaptable instruction. Special Education courses teach the specifics: different types of disabilities, appropriate assessment approaches, and how to design and implement individualized education programs. They also cover how to make content accessible through accommodations, assistive technologies, and collaboration with families and other professionals. This training equips teachers to modify materials, adjust pacing, and create learning environments where PWDs can participate meaningfully across all subjects. In contrast, fields like Business Administration, Computer Science, or Physical Education focus on their own disciplines and do not provide the specialized pedagogy and inclusive practices needed to educate students with disabilities effectively.
