Sub-divisions

Special Interest Divisions

CEC Divisions create the pathways you need to grow your career through conferences, workshops, journals, and more. Whether you’re an administrator, educator, or support professional, we’ve got a place for you.

Access to Divisions is one of the most rewarding benefits of being a CEC member.* These focused groups bring together CEC members based on their professional interests, role, practice setting or focus in a specific exceptionality. Divisions give you access to a specialized network of peers, advanced research, additional journals, and the opportunity to dive deeply into educational areas that reflect your dedicated interests towards helping students with exceptionalities. NOTE: Offerings vary by Division.

Become more deeply involved in your profession and take advantage of the benefits of participating in as many Divisions as interest you.
