Enhancing Outcomes Through Dynamic Technical Assistance Models for Complex Children

This session highlights how innovative technical assistance (TA) models are transforming service delivery for children with complex needs. Featuring insights from experts across various states, we delve into the dynamic approach that utilizes distance mentoring and technology to improve efficiency and outcomes. By examining case studies like Washington State's Distance Mentoring initiative and the Vermont I-Team's use of distance technology, participants will learn practical strategies to support teams and families effectively, ensuring cohesive service delivery and better educational experiences for children with multiple disabilities.
