Testimonial
Katy Donaldson, Alumni
Two of my four children have been diagnosed as dyslexic. The education, tools, and resources that UHV provided me, extended into helping the ones dearest to my heart. Being able to educate my own children has been one of my greatest achievements.

Every child's brain works in miraculous ways and is wired uniquely. Some students try hard but still cannot succeed in certain areas, like reading or math. Diagnosticians solve the puzzle to understand why students struggle with academic achievement. Be a part of that discovery that will empower struggling students by getting your special education master's degree and/or diagnostician certification.

Each class should be used as a special occasion for every student, to make the most of each second of each class with them.
