What is an EC case manager?

EC Case Managers, or Exceptional Children Case Managers, are professionals who coordinate and oversee services for students with disabilities in educational settings. They work closely with teachers, families, and other specialists to develop, implement, and monitor Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to ensure each child's educational needs are met. Their responsibilities include conducting meetings, maintaining compliance with special education laws, and serving as a liaison between the school and families. EC Case Managers play a vital role in supporting students' academic, social, and emotional growth.
