Program Description

The purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),
Part D, is to provide support to States, schools, teachers, and families
to improve results for children with disabilities through research,
technical assistance, dissemination of information, and other activities
that can be most efficiently carried out at the Federal level.

The State Improvement Program: The State Improvement program provides
competitive grants to assist State educational agencies, in partnership
with others, to reform and improve their systems for providing
educational, early intervention, and transitional services to improve
results for children with disabilities. This includes state educational
agencies' systems for professional development, technical assistance,
and dissemination. Specifically, the program provides resources to
assist states to develop and implement their own plans for improving
results.

**Research and Innovation:** The Research and Innovation program is the
primary source of support under the IDEA for producing, and advancing
the use of knowledge to improve services and results for children with
disabilities. The program supports a wide range of activities including
research, demonstrations, and outreach that are designed to produce new
knowledge, integrate research and practice, and improve the use of
professional knowledge.

###### Technical Assistance and Dissemination: The Technical Assistance and Dissemination program is the primary vehicle under the IDEA for putting information into the hands of individuals and organizations serving children with disabilities. The program carries out the purpose through regional resource centers, clearinghouses, and projects that support states and local entities in building capacity. 

###### Personnel Preparation: The Personnel Preparation program assists States in meeting their responsibility to ensure an adequate supply of qualified personnel to serve children with disabilities. The program supports competitive awards to prepare personnel to serve children with low- and high-incidence disabilities and leadership personnel, and for projects of national significance.

Parent Information Centers: The Parent Information Centers program is
one of the primary vehicles under the IDEA for providing information and
training on student and parent rights under IDEA, the nature and needs
of their child's disability, and effective communication with the
educational profession to parents of children with disabilities.

Technology and Media Services: The Technology and Media Services program
is the primary source of support under the IDEA for technology and
media-related activities. Technology activities promote the development,
demonstration, and utilization of technology. They include activities
such as research on using technology to improve learning and provide
access to the classrooms, and Media Services activities such as
captioning and video description that focus on individuals who are
hearing impaired, blind, or print disabled.

Program Performance

Objective 1: Programs respond to critical needs of children with
disabilities and their families.

<p><strong>Explanation:</strong> It had been expected that baseline data
would be available for 2000. However, in 2000, a pilot effort was
conducted to determine the number of products communicated by projects
in each program area. For example, research and technology projects are
expected to communicate findings through appropriate refereed journals
and other vehicles such as the Internet, association publications, and
Federally-funded technical assistance providers, and to include a
citation of funding support under IDEA.</p>

<p><strong>Validation Procedure:</strong> Project information is
reviewed by a panel consisting of independent, third-party reviewers who
are experts in the program content and trained in the review procedures.
The panel results are analyzed by experts in evaluation research.</p>
<p><strong>Limitations of Data and Planned Improvements:</strong> Future
collections will include a measure of quality or appropriateness. Also,
in 2001, in the Personnel Preparation program, only projects of national
significance will be reviewed since the other activities in this program
focus on personnel preparation and have no major responsibility for
communicating information.</p></td>
