CORPORATE PARTNERS

The Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE) deeply values our corporate partners, whose engagement is essential to advancing our mission: CASE provides leadership to advance the field of special education through professional learning, policy, and advocacy.

As the collective voice of special education leaders at the state, national, and global levels, CASE offers a premier platform for sponsors to connect with administrators through multiple channels, including Friends of CASE, in-person and virtual events, targeted eblasts, and the CASE Member Update electronic newsletter. CASE is proud to facilitate meaningful connections between members and corporate partners whose products and services offer high-quality tools and resources—supporting educators, service providers, and, most importantly, students with disabilities.
