Joining CEC > DEC > KDEC

Membership

Because KDEC is a subdivision for the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), membership starts with a CEC membership, with DEC as your division. When you join KDEC, you also get the benefits of the larger organizations. You will receive the benefits of a number of opportunities and publications, such as the Young Exceptional Children, Teaching Exceptional Children, Exceptional Children and the Journal of Early Intervention (DEC member benefits).

To become a member of the Kansas Division for Early Childhood (KDEC) individuals first need to become a member of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and select the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) as one of CEC’s Special Interest Divisions. Once the individual has joined CEC and DEC, they will automatically become a member of KDEC.
