Mission
Exceptional Children's Assistance Center (ECAC) is a private, nonprofit parent organization, committed to improving the lives and education of ALL children through a special emphasis on children with disabilities and special health care needs.

ECAC currently serves as North Carolinas Parent Training & Information Center, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. We have held this distinction since 1986. As the statewide PTI, we serve families of children with disabilities and special healthcare needs, from birth to 26 years old, in all 100 NC counties. The PTI staff provide information, training and support to families navigating early intervention, special education and the transition to adulthood. We help families and youth to know their rights so that they can make informed decisions and be effective advocates. Information and assistance is provided in both English and Spanish. ECAC has a broad reach in NC. During the last reporting period, ECAC had more than 28,000 individual contacts with families and professionals and implemented 228 training sessions for families and professionals. In addition, ECAC's website https://www.ecac-parentcenter.org had a record number of page views of 331,207 during our last reporting period. Our Facebook currently has more than 17,000 followers.

ECAC contracted with NC DHHS Division of Employment and Independence for people with Disabilities (formerly Vocational Rehabilitation) to provide pre-employment transition services to 78 students with disabilities.

ECAC has several contracts with the NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) Office of Exceptional Children. In addition, ECAC is a funded partner of the NC DeafBlind Project to support family engagement and provide information and support to families of children with DeafBlindness. An ECAC staff member is the Co-Director of this project. Through the NC Systemic Improvement Plan (NC SIP) grant, we engage a cadre of family leaders to speak to pre-services classes for education majors in participating universities on the importance of family engagement. ECAC partners with DPI staff to create trainings and resources for families. The services are applicable to both English and Spanish families. Services include but not limited to focusing on families with children with deaf/blindness navigating the special needs services, support to families of students participating in Individualized Education Programs (IEP) meetings and understand educational equity.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
