Training and Technical Assistance Collaborative (TTAC) is an interagency partnership of more than 25 agencies and organizations in California dedicated to delivering quality personnel development activities for personnel who serve children birth-5 with disabilities and other special needs and their families.

The Center for Prevention & Early Intervention (CPEI) at WestEd coordinates and facilitates quarterly forums, convened by the California Department of Developmental Services, for providers to meet and share ideas; focus on key issues and needs regarding technical assistance; increase awareness about training and technical assistance resources; promote coordination in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of training and technical assistance; and identify collaborative training and technical assistance projects.

TTAC provides an environment for building relationships and nurturing trust among leaders in support of coordination and collaboration in the planning and implementation of early intervention training and technical assistance activities.

By providing a forum for cross-agency and cross-disciplinary discussion and resource sharing, TTAC promotes the mindful integration of specific core values into the delivery of early child care, education, and early intervention focusing on increasing child and family outcomes.

WestEd staff involved with this project:

• Virginia Reynolds, Director, Center for Prevention & Early Intervention
