News And Features From Mtsu

We know special education is a very broad term and the range of intellectual and physical difficulties is wide. In today’s episode, we discuss the importance of learning functional life skills, managing familial stress, and transitioning into this “new normal” and new routines as we phase out of quarantine. As Drs. Pence and Black state, these skills are helpful for any child to acquire - no matter the diagnosis (or lack thereof). The “Classroom in Your Living Room” podcast series is produced by the Center for Educational Media at MTSU. For questions, suggestions for future episodes, or to say hello, please email Trisha Murphy, Development Director within the College of Education at trisha.murphy@mtsu.edu. Guest(s): Dr. Tom Black, Associate Professor of Special Education and Dr. Alicia Pence, Assistant Professor of Special Education
