提供資源,説明家庭
ECAC helps parents navigate the special education system, know their rights, and use their voice. We provide information, support, training and resources to assist families caring for children with special needs from birth to age 26. We also support young adults with disabilities in becoming self-advocates and leaders and the educators and professionals who serve them.
作為有特殊需要的孩子的父母,我們理解。
我們的歷史
ECAC是一個非盈利組織,成立於1984年,由康妮·霍金斯和弗蘭克·格拉齊亞迪,兩個父母有特殊需要的孩子。在夏洛特北卡羅來納大學教授理查·懷特的説明下,他們寫了北卡羅來納州第一筆資助家長培訓和資訊中心(PTI)的贈款。他們作為殘疾兒童父母的經歷迫使他們説明其他有特殊需要的兒童家庭獲得支助。
康妮·霍金斯是ECAC的創始人和執行董事34年。弗蘭克·格拉齊亞迪,已返回,作為董事會成員。康妮和弗蘭克仍然主張為所有兒童提供免費和適當的教育,特別注重殘疾兒童。
