Deadline: 23 August 2018

U.S Department of Education is seeking applications for its grant programme entitled “Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities: Technical Assistance for Parent Centers” to ensure that parents of children with disabilities receive impartial training and information to help improve outcomes for their children.

PTACs provide support to parent centers to carry out these statutorily required activities and thereby help parents participate in the education of their children to improve their children’s outcomes.  In order to ensure that parent centers receive the TA they need to increase their knowledge and capacity to provide services to parents and youth effectively and efficiently, the Department plans to fund five technical assistance centers for parent centers.

The Department will fund a CPIR that will, in coordination with the regional PTACs, develop and disseminate resources for all parent centers to use when working with parents of children with disabilities and youth with disabilities.
