About the National Dissemination Center

The Center's Partnerships

TA&D Network
The National Dissemination Center is part of the Technical Assistance & Dissemination (TA&D) network. This network includes over 40 projects funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). These projects offer information and technical assistance on a broad range of disability and special education issues. You can search our Resource Library of products (publications, videos, CDs, Web sites, etc.) available from projects within the TA&D network.

Collaborative Information Centers
The National Dissemination Center is also part of Collaborative Information Centers (CIC), a consortium of six national resource centers that provide information on disability-related issues. We meet regularly to discuss our work, our current projects, and our plans for future projects to assure coordination, share resources, prevent duplication of effort, and avoid gaps in information.

Special Partners
The National Dissemination Center also works in partnership with other projects funded by OSEP. Two of particular interest at this time are:

• CADRE, the Consortium for Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Special Education, which shares information and best practice on dispute resolution procedures such as mediation.



• FCTD, the Family Center on Technology and Disability, which offers information and services on the subject of assistive technology (AT) to organizations and programs that work with families of children and youth with disabilities.
