CEC’s Makes Recommendations to the National Education Technology Plan

The Council for Exceptional Children – the largest professional organization of teachers, administrators, higher education faculty, researchers and others concerned with the education of children with disabilities, gifts and talents or both – provided input to the U.S. Department of Education on the development of the National Education Technology Plan.

CEC believes that technology is a driving force that will shape the future of our nation and, as such, it must be fully integrated and embedded in education. Technology can facilitate learning, engage students, and create opportunities for adaptation and creativity that benefit all learners. CEC urged the Technical Working Group to consider the needs of diverse learners, including students with disabilities and/or gifts and talents, throughout the plan.
