It is more important than ever to make your voice heard as a special education professional. Don’t miss the chance to advocate by sharing what’s happening in the field. The Special Education Legislative Summit (SELS), facilitated by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE), offers the opportunity to come together with your peers and work towards shaping special education policy as you:

  • ADVOCATE—Meet with elected officials from your home state on Capitol Hill.
  • LEARN— Gain new skills for advocating year-round.
  • COLLABORATE—Share common experiences and solutions with special education professionals from across the country. 
  • NETWORK—Discuss circumstances unique to your region of the country.
