Technical Assistance Supervision and Consultation Services

Technical assistance supervision offers the specialized information and resources needed by districts to provide effective, efficient, and legal services to students with disabilities. Assistance is provided to IEP teams as they work to identify, adapt, or implement appropriate educational programs or services for individual students, and to communicate with a variety of educational, community, or parent groups. Technical assistance supervision also includes consultation on a variety of educational topics: policies and procedures, state and federal requirements, instructional or assessment methods, specific disabilities, program configurations, conducting needs assessments, designing or re-designing programs and services, among others.

Tri-County employs administrators, including Technical Assistance Supervisors, who provide these services with greater intensity in assigned districts. Most recently, Tri-County administrators have been leading programming initiatives that use assistive or instructional technology to increase student learning and ease student participation in school activities.

Specific assistive technology services include consultation, accessing equipment rentals, teaching software or tool use, accessing consultation services from knowledgeable peers, and accessing highly specialized services from other sources.
