Welcome to NYCASE!

NYCASE Mission Statement

The New York Council of Special Education Administrators (NYCASE) is a professional organization that provides leadership and support to members by advocating on the shaping of policies and practices which impact the quality of special education services for students with disabilities. NYCASE will participate actively in the improvement of special education programs in the State of New York. 

Dear Members,

In an effort to support our membership NYCASE continues to post the most recent Federal and State updates to Special Education and Section 504 on our website. We are also continuing to provide a series of virtual update professional development opportunities throughout the year. It is our desire that the NYCASE website be your single point of entry to access updates and resources without having to scroll through an endless sea of e-mails. Now that we have transitioned to our new website, we have migrated some of these content areas to the "Member's Only" section. This will allow us to focus our efforts on the members of our organization and to continue to provide the high quality supports that our membership has come to rely on.      
Be sure to join us at the Marriott Downtown in Syracuse N.Y for the July 2026 annual conference. Registration is Now Open!

Dr. Rae Lynn Helman and Dr. Selena Fischer

We are honored to recognize

Audrey C. Cabbell

Director of Special Education and Pupil Personnel Services

Greenburgh Central School District

Ms. Cabbell shared with us that she celebrates the decision to move to the Director of Pupil Personnel Services from Director of ENL/Bilingual Education. In this role, she spoke of having the privilege and opportunity to use her knowledge and experience.  

When asked about her future goals Ms. Cabbell added that in her work as Director of PPS she would love to be able to share what she has learned at the college level including her time at Fordham University. 

In response to the question what do you love most about your work she added: I love connecting with students and families.
 

Ms. Cabbell's work and perspective demonstrates the fundamental tenets of the New York Council of Administrators of Special Education organization.  We are proud to recognize him and have her as a member of NYCASE. This photo of Ms. Cabbell was taken at the NYCASE July 2025 conference in Albany NY.
