Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Developmentally Disabled Centers, Disabilities, Human Services
Mission: Catholic Coalition for Special Education (CCSE)'s mission is to advocate for and facilitate an appropriate, inclusive, high quality education for students with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities in the Washington D.C. and Baltimore region Catholic schools to enrich their lives, schools, and the broader community.
Geographic areas served: Maryland and Washington, D.C.
Programs: CCSE’s BELIEVE IN ME! PROGRAMS offer advocacy and support for the creation of special education programs through seed funding, technical assistance and professional development to enable schools to accommodate students with intellectual disabilities. Grant awards may be used to hire special education teachers and para-educators and to purchase specialized classroom equipment and supplies. CCSE’s TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING ensure that schools are properly equipped and staffed to meet the needs of students and that teachers are well-prepared to serve all their students. Services range from individual teacher coaching and topical workshops to year-long capacity-building assistance tailored to a school’s needs. CCSE’s TUITION ASSISTANCE GRANTS FOR ADVANCED DEGREES IN SPECIAL EDUCATION encourage teachers and other professionals to pursue advanced degrees in Special Education thereby helping to offset the chronic and pervasive shortage of special education teachers which exists both regionally and nationally. CCSE’s FAMILY SUPPORT helps families of children with disabilities navigate the frequently complex maze of services by providing current information on school programs and community resources. It also provides spiritual and practical support for parents on the journey to raising a child with a disability and provides social and networking opportunities such as our Holy Hour/Happy Hour.
