CEC is this Week!

The Council for Exceptional Children Annual International Conference.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference is virtual, so there is no reason why you should not attend. The sessions are loaded into the website, and will be available to view until the end of May.

We have compiled a list of some of the main sessions related to special education legal matters. There are many, many other sessions but we would like to highlight these.

If you have any questions about these sessions, please reach out to us and we will do everything we can to help. You can search the webpage for sessions by either the session number or the person’s last name.

Enjoy!
