CED Certification

The Council on Education of the Deaf is a national organization sponsored by eight major national organizations devoted to quality education for all deaf and hard of hearing individuals. CED maintains high standards for certifying teachers working with deaf and hard of hearing students in all educational settings and CED standards are linked to Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) standards as well. Individuals who have successfully completed an accredited CED teacher preparation program are eligible to apply for this certification.

There is now a pathway for teachers and faculty members from non CED-accredited programs to obtain CED certification!
Please contact Sarah Ammerman and Blane Trautwein at ammerman@uthscsa.edu or trautwein@uthscsa.edu if you are interested in pursuing this type of certification.
