 T/TAC Mission         

The Virginia Department of Education Training and Technical Assistance Center at James Madison University is part of a statewide network of seven regionally located centers that provide professional development and support designed to assist school personnel in addressing accountability and improvement goals for students with disabilities (ages birth - 22). Factors that encourage successful outcomes of students with disabilities include:

• The school leadership and staff have high expectations of all students and embrace inclusion of students with disabilities in all school-related activities.
• There is collaboration among individualized education program (IEP) team members to develop as well as implement meaningful IEPs.
• The curriculum is aligned with state learning standards and the aligned curriculum is taught in all settings.
• There is collaboration among special and general education teachers in planning and delivering research-based, effective, and differentiated instruction.
• Students use appropriate assistive technology.
• Positive behavior supports are incorporated in a school-wide approach to discipline.
