The UCA student chapter of the Council for Exceptional Children continues an active role in community service and professional development as evidenced in the activities such as the following.
- For 13 years the organization has sponsored an Angel Tree for families in need with a child(ren) who has a disability. They provide the list of items for the members of the COE to purchase and the UCA SCEC students deliver the gifts to the parents/guardians so they can provide a Christmas celebration for their children.
- For the last 2 years, the UCA Student Council for Exceptional Children has provided 3 fun nights for a group of children and families involved in a group called Friday Night Friends. This group gets together once a month to provide a place and activities for teens with developmental disabilities.
- Students in the organization currently in the special education block attended a technology and assistive technology workshop provided by Bryan Ayers of Easter Seals Arkansas-Outreach. The students participated in hands-on learning to help them integrate technology in their future classrooms. The PD lasted for 6 hours and was held at Easter Seals.
