326 -- Special Education Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities Last Updated: May 20, 2026 View version history on Grants. gov Program Description: The purpose of this grant competition is to establish a National Assessment Center to improve children with disabilities’ participation in and performance on State and districtwide assessments.
This award is funded under the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program.
The goal of this program is to promote academic achievement and to improve results for children with disabilities by providing technical assistance (TA), supporting model demonstration projects, disseminating useful information, and implementing activities supported by scientifically based research. This award aligns to requirements in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Specifically, section 612(a)(16) requires that all children with disabilities are included with appropriate accommodations in general State and districtwide assessments as indicated in their individualized education programs, including assessments described under section 1111 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and alternate assessments.
Many States have also adopted kindergarten entry assessments to assess multiple developmental domains and support early learning. Additionally, Section 663(b)(2) of IDEA requires that the Secretary use funds to support activities to improve the participation of children with disabilities in State assessments.
