The Experimental Education Unit (EEU) is a state-certified special education school that serves children from birth to age 7 with diverse abilities. Faculty at the EEU conduct research projects and provide training opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and other professionals.

There are four EEU classes designed for different age groups and all classes serve children who are typically developing and those with moderate and severe developmental disabilities. Classes emphasize the development of cognitive, social, and motor skills. Future educators receive interdisciplinary hands-on training experiences within these classes under the supervision of an EEU faculty member.
