TTAC Mission

Introduction

The mission of the Training & Technical Assistance Center (T/TAC) is to improve educational opportunities and contribute to the success of children and youth with disabilities (birth–22 years). This mission is two-fold; first, to increase the capacity of schools, school personnel, service providers, and families to meet the needs of children and youth with disabilities and, second, to foster the state improvement goals for personnel development, which address improving the performance of children and youth with disabilities, by enhancing the knowledge, skills, abilities, and performance of all personnel who work with them.

Professional Development

T/TAC provides high-quality professional development that fosters access to the general education curriculum, achievement in the least restrictive environment, and the knowledge and skills to transition to adult settings. These services are provided in the context of a school’s improvement plan in collaboration with building and division administrators.
