Training & Technical Assistance
The National Center on Education, Disability and Juvenile Justice

EDJJ provides technical assistance and training to public and correctional schools, public agencies, court and justice officials and advocacy groups concerned with youth at risk for delinquency or already involved with the courts and corrections. As a collaborative national project, we are in a unique position to assist with the design and delivery of effective programs and services for youth whose multiple needs often cross the traditional boundaries of child-serving agencies.

We are interested in strengthening the capacity of education, special education and justice agencies to serve youth with educational disabilities and deficits. To accomplish this, we provide consultation, technical assistance and training for professionals and parents who are concerned about improving educational opportunities and outcomes for at-risk and court-involved youth. We work collaboratively with interested individuals, organizations and agencies at the national, state or local levels to tailor technical assistance and training geared to specific needs.

We can provide assistance in a variety of formats, including:

On-site consultation
Consultation via telephone
Professional development including regional forums and numerous conference presentations
Facilitation of site visits to correctional education programs for administrators and practitioners in the field
Education/special education and transition program design and evaluation
Policy review and development
Dissemination of publications, online newsletter, and other web-based resources
Referral to and linkages with related organizations and agencies
