The Yes I Can! International Awards Program was established in 1981 to celebrate the achievements of children and youth with disabilities; to encourage children and youth with disabilities to seek their highest potential; and to increase public awareness of the abilities, aspirations, and personal qualities of people with disabilities.
Each year children and youth with disabilities (ages 2-21) are recognized for their accomplishments through the Yes I Can! International Awards Program. Yes I Can! Awards nominations will be accepted in the following categories:
♦ Academics ♦ Arts ♦ Athletics
♦ Community Service ♦ Employment ♦ Extracurricular Activities
♦ Independent Living Skills ♦ Self-Advocacy ♦ Technology
The state of Montana recognizes one student from each of the five CSPD Regions. Winners will be recognized at the Montana Council for Exceptional Children Conference Awards Luncheon in 2020.
Winners from each region will be invited to submit further nominations to the International CEC Conference in the upcoming year.
