TAcommunities provide resources and assistance to the states on issues that impact students with disabilities and also extend current TA (technical assistance) to the states through peer-led collaboration on such topics as the SPP/APR process. TAcommunities is the home for Communities of Practice (CoP) that are supported by the Technical Assistance and Dissemination (TA&D) Network, and the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).
The purpose of the TA&D Network is to provide technical assistance, disseminate useful information, and implement activities that are supported by scientifically based research to promote academic achievement and improve results for children with disabilities.
