The Extended Accelerator Program is a three-semester program for students seeking an immersive English-learning experience. The program gives students a firsthand practical and cultural understanding of the Auburn University campus and the Auburn, Alabama, area through its contextual curriculum. Upon completion of the program, students progress into year two of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits. This program prepares teachers and early interventionists to serve children with a variety of disabilities from birth to age 9 in a range of settings from home to elementary school. Graduates are prepared to implement evidence-based practices that support families and the development of young children who have or are at risk for developmental delays and disabilities, as well as elementary-age students with disabilities.
