Planning and execution of the Monster Mash was carried out by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), which provides opportunities for both students with special needs and educators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maddie Ayers, a junior early childhood and special education double major, currently serves as the president of this group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe CEC\u2019s mission involves cultivating, supporting and empowering education professionals who work with individuals with disabilities,\u201d Ayers said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Monster Mash, the students could participate in numerous games, crafts and activities facilitated by students from various LVC organizations.
