IATTAP Mission

The Illinois Autism Training and Technical Assistance Project (IATTAP) is an initiative of the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and joins other ISBE initiatives as part of the Illinois Statewide Technical Assistance Center (ISTAC) providing training and technical assistance to schools in Illinois. Other ISTAC partners include

PBIS Network	Project CHOICES
ISRC	Project REACH
ISTACP	TOTAL

IATTAP focuses on educating and supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. The Project is operated under a grant to the School Association for Special Education in DuPage County (SASED) and its major goals are to:

1) Build local capacity to establish and implement effective educational supports and services in the least restrictive environment for children with ASD.

2) Promote a proactive approach to working with individuals with ASD and their families.

3) Help children with ASD remain with their families in their Welcome communities and become productive.

4) Increase the percentage of students on the Autism Spectrum who are educated in the general education classroom.

5) Increase the effective and meaningful involvement of parents in their children's education.
