Center Overview
The University of Oregon, Technical Assistance and Consulting Services (UO/TACS) operates the Regional Resource Center for Region 6 to improve state systems that provide services for infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities and their families. The Western Regional Resource Center (WRRC) assists state education and lead agencies to improve results for children with disabilities by providing information and technical assistance that (a) supports building their capacity to carry out continuous improvement processes and (b) assists them to put in place specific services and programs that are grounded in research.
Methods
The WRRC organizes its work around effort and effect results proposed for each of six objectives. Measures of these results are gathered throughout the project and used to guide and evaluate the Center's work with states. The six objectives are: (a) to provide TA to build state continuous improvement process (CIP) capacity; (b) to provide TA to implement systemic change to improve programs and services; (c) to partner with OSEP, SEAs, and other TA systems on OSEP-specified TA; (d) to disseminate information on scientifically based and research-based practices; (e) to optimize needs identification and effective TA through collaboration with others; and (f) to continuously evaluate and manage WRRC services.
