CEC’s CCC:DPHMD COVID-19 Response
We are here for you. At CCC, our focus is on supporting educators, professionals, and parents who work with students with complex and chronic medical conditions. We understand that this is an unprecedented time in education, especially when it comes to supporting students with complex medical and learning needs.
