Council for Exceptional Children Awards for Students with Disabilities Who Excel

Do you know a student who achieves despite his or her disability? Then nominate him or her for a Yes I Can! Award. Students are recognized for their accomplishments in nine categories: academics, arts, athletics, community service, employment, extracurricular activities, independent living skills, self-determination, and technology.

The Yes I Can! Award winners are recognized at a special ceremony at CEC’s Annual Convention & Expo, and all nominees receive a certificate of commendation.

Nominations are due Nov. 20, 2006. For more information and a nomination form, go to http://www.cec.sped.org/Content/NavigationMenu/AboutCEC/YesICanFoundation/Awards/2006YesICan!AwardApplication.pdf .

We know you are receiving a lot of e-mails from CEC now. The beginning of the school year is a very busy time, and we want to make sure you are aware of events that may interest you.
