| The Division
for Early Childhood (DEC) is one of seventeen divisions of the Council
for Exceptional Children (CEC) - the largest international professional
organization dedicated to improving educational outcomes for individuals
with exceptionalities, students with disabilities, and/or the gifted.
DEC is especially for individuals who work with or on behalf of
children with special needs, birth through age eight, and their
families.
DEC’s Mission: The Division for Early Childhood promotes
policies and advances evidence-based practices that support families
and enhance the optimal development of young children who have
or are at risk for developmental delays and disabilities.
The Division for Early Childhood (DEC) conference is designed
to cover a wide range of vital issues facing those who work with
young children with special needs and their families. Every year,
DEC brings together experts, students, practitioners, and family
members to learn about important research, policy, and practice
happening in the field of early childhood special education.
