Students With Disabilities are Recognized for Their Accomplishments

Through the Yes I Can! Awards, students with disabilities -- some for the first time in their lives -- are recognized for their accomplishments. 

The Yes I Can! Awards honor students with disabilities who have excelled in one of nine categories:  Arts, Academics, Athletics, Community Service, Employment, Extracurricular Activities, Independent Living Skills, Self-Advocacy, Technology. Each Yes I Can! winner has a special moment in the spotlight as he or she is presented with a statue and the audience learns of the student's accomplishments at the Council for Exceptional Children's Annual Convention & Expo. The winners and their families are also treated to a special field trip. Plus, each student who is nominated receives a certificate of accomplishment.  Please let your colleagues know about the Yes I Can! Awards. Nominations are due on Nov. 20.
