The mission of the Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities is to endorse and promote efforts to provide appropriate quality education for children and youth with disabilities. We do so in the belief that all children have a right to a meaningful and relevant education. This belief affirms the dignity of each child or youth with disabilities, whose needs are unique and whose needs must be met equally and appropriately. OCECD is dedicated to ensuring that every child with disabilities is provided a free appropriate public education. We will continually strive to improve the quality of our services for all children and youth with disabilities in Ohio.
