Testimonials
“The Student Council for Exceptional Children (SCEC) at the University of Central Florida has been a strong influence in fostering my desire to work with children with exceptional needs. I joined the SCEC at UCF as a second year masters student. SCEC helped me to connect with teachers of students with exceptionalities, facilitated the development of relationships with fellow graduate students, and provided me access to valuable resources from the national leading professional organization in special education.
As a member of SCEC, I was fortunate to receive funding to attend the Council for Exceptional Children’s 2008 national conference, held in Boston, Massachusetts. This conference abounded in a wealth of knowledge. I learned that there is a tremendous wealth of support for best practice and research, and helped to fuel my desire to continue on at UCF as a Ph.D. student in the Exceptional Education program. I believe that SCEC at the University of Central Florida is one of the best opportunities afforded to students in the College of Education.”
