NAPSEC is the only national association that represents private special education programs.  Both its membership services and its legislative agenda are developed to address the needs of the NAPSEC membership.

 

Each year new services are added and current services are upgraded to ensure that NAPSEC remains an association whose membership is both valuable and useable.
