CEO provides transition and employment opportunities for students and adults in special education, 504 and general education by addressing the “Big Picture”. We are dedicated to providing systematic solutions for the chronic problem of unemployment for individuals with disabilities.  We, at CEO, have determined that the key for success is a professional and motivated staff. CEO staff are dedicated to change and outcomes by working closely with the student, adult and entire community. 

Why CEO?

Did you know: In New York State, individuals with disabilities are employed at a 44% lower rate than individuals without disabilities?

At CEO, we believe this social disparity is not to be managed but changed.  To create change, we commit to constantly being in motion. We commit ourselves to excellence by consistently reinventing all we do to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. In doing so, we empower our students and clients to achieve their vocational and transition goals. Using evidence-based systems based on NTACT (National Technical Assistance Center on Transition) standards, CEO trains our staff to implement services using proven models of instruction and programming.
