About TTA

Targeted Technical Assistance (TTA) is designed to support educators in creating substantive changes within their school district or educational program that improve employment outcomes for students with extensive support needs (i.e., intellectual disability, autism, multiple disabilities).

Proposed changes should improve work-based learning experiences, enhance coordination with adult service agencies, and/or meet other school-identified needs related to preparing students with significant disabilities for employment.  

Educational teams who engage in TTA will work in cooperation with the ICTW to jointly develop an action plan that defines the steps to achieving the applicant’s goals, the roles and responsibilities of both the ICTW and the applicant, and the types of assistance to be provided by the ICTW. All requests for TTA must involve a team approach and include administrative support for creating the proposed changes.

If you would like to discuss an idea for TTA or have questions about the program, please email contact-ictw@illinois.edu.
