YOUR FUTURE AWAITS
Program Information
The Rowan Experience
Learning Disabilities Teacher Consultants (LDTC) work in collaboration with other members of a child study team to determine eligibility for special services. LDTCs also consult with parents, teachers, and other school personnel to provide research-based instructional strategies to assist pupils who are struggling academically. Applicants who have earned a master’s degree in education from another institution, or a master’s degree in a related field (e.g., Special Education or Reading), may apply to the LDTC certification program.
This program meets all State of New Jersey requirements for the LDTC certificate. It has also received national recognition for accreditation through the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) for educational diagnosticians.
Teachers in the state of New Jersey may apply to the LDTC certification program through the New Jersey Teachers Outreach Program (NJTOP). Learn more about NJTOP.
