Abstract
"Wedving Experiential Education into a Preservice Special Education Course" is a study of an extensive experiential assignment in introducing preservice non-special education elementary teachers to the field of special education. This study documents the use of students' experiences in a difficult learning situation and investigates the transference of this learning experience to course content on individualizing a program for students with special needs. The article describes how students doing the Klutz Experience develop empathy for the struggles of students in special education and also learn how to motivate and support students in special education. This study suggests a way to alter the isolation of course content and to help avoid the objectification of students in special education as "other."
