This grant is designed to assist State educational agencies (SEAs) in reforming and enhancing their systems for personnel preparation and professional development. The primary goal is to improve the quality of early intervention, educational, and transition services provided to children with disabilities. By focusing on strengthening the capabilities of personnel, the SPDG program aims to ensure that children with disabilities receive more effective support and achieve better outcomes. SEAs can utilize this funding to develop innovative training programs, implement best practices, and build a more skilled workforce dedicated to special education, ultimately contributing to better results for students with disabilities.
