The mission of the Illinois Council for Exceptional Children is to meet the needs of special education teachers in their work with children with exceptionalities and their families. In order to achieve this goal, we must assure that children with exceptionalities receive appropriate services by advocating for the parents and teachers who educate and care for them. ICEC believes that the parent and teacher are critical driving forces in the life of a child.
ICEC will advocate for the needs of special educators and improvement in their working conditions. ICEC will stand for the needs of the teachers so they can provide the highest quality of services to the children they serve in a safe learning environment. Through professional development, information sharing, networking, and advocacy, ICEC will support teachers who work with children with exceptionalities.
