Every year, CEC publishes the Federal Outlook for Exceptional Children which provides descriptions of all IDEA programs, special education research and the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act. It also details CEC’s budget recommendations for funding all of these programs which, together, form the backbone for the education of the United States' seven million children with disabilities and/or giftedness.
The Federal Outlook is designed to explain to lawmakers and their staff the critical need for funding programs for children with disabilities and/or giftedness. Contributions made by special educators and school districts help put a human touch on these abstract concepts.
This Federal Outlook for Exceptional Children is now available online and we hope you will find it useful during conversations with your members of congress, state legislators and friends and neighbors.
Especially in this tough fiscal climate, CEC encourages you to use this information to educate others about programs serving students with exceptionalities! Click here to see the online book and - Take Action Be an Advocate!
