Dear Teachers and Administrative Staff,
Through the efforts of Senator Edward Houck, 17th Senatorial
District, the Virginia General Assembly declared the third week in
February every year as Exceptional Children’s Week. It is a week
dedicated to public awareness of the needs and capabilities of our
exceptional children, both those with disabilities and those with
giftedness and special talents. The Virginia Council for Exceptional
Children (CEC) sponsors the event.
Each local school division is encouraged to make recognition of the
the week through publicity or special events. The King George
County Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) has provided
you with a puzzle pin, the national symbol for Autism, and ask that
you wear it the entire week in recognition and support of exceptional
children (specifically children with disabilities).
The puzzle symbolizes the many faces of autism. Each piece of a puzzle is made
into a pin and represents the different pieces of the puzzle that make up the
mystery, complexity and wide spectrum of autism and the many individuals
affected by this disability.
In further recognition of Virginia Exceptional Children’s Week and
to promote public awareness, the SEAC committee will be sending
you a daily email profiling a specific disability. Please take the time to
read over the disability profile, teacher tips, and resource information.
Also feel free to share the information with others.
Thank you for your support and as you wear your pin, know that you
are making a difference….
Sincerely,
King George County Special Education Advisory Committee(SEAC)
