Our Mission
The worldwide mission of The Council for Exceptional
Children is to improve educational outcomes for individuals with
exceptionalities.
CEC, a non-profit association, accomplishes its mission
which is carried out in support of special education professionals
and others working on behalf of individuals with exceptionalities,
by advocating for appropriate governmental policies, by setting
professional standards, by providing continuing professional
development, by advocating for newly and historically underserved
individuals with exceptionalities, and by helping professionals
achieve the conditions and resources necessary for effective
professional practice.
