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.
We hope you were able to join us at the Marriott Downtown in Syracuse N.Y for the July 2026 annual conference.
Be sure to mark your calendars for 2027! The dates are July 12-14th Marriott on Wolf Rd. in Albany N.Y.
Dr. Rae Lynn Helman and Dr. Selena Fischer
NYCASE Co-Presidents
