According to the organizational website, www.cec.sped.org, the U.S. Department of Education will award $19.9 million in grants to higher education institutions to help prepare special education professionals to improve services for children with disabilities. $13.5 million will be aimed at improving the quality and number of people who are fully credentialed to serve children with disabilities. It will assist current and future special education professionals to complete degrees, certifications, and professional licenses in early intervention or a related services field. The funds will also help with special education paraprofessionals, assistants in related services, or educational interpreters. More than $6 million will be dedicated to grants that support doctoral, post-doctoral and special education administration degrees. These grants are funded by IDEA – Part D Support Programs that facilitate in the delivery of special education services. After discovering this website, I have been able to learn a lot about what is happening in my field. I plan to visit this website regularly and investigate any new information.
