This project identifies information needed to improve the management, administration, delivery and effectiveness of education programs and services, and promotes utilization of research data and other information for improving outcomes for infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities. Project Forum provides information on emerging issues, studies critical issues and convenes small work groups to gather expert input related to specific topics.
Project Forum documents are available for download at our website: www.projectforum.org. The website has a strong Boolean search engine to find any Project Forum document. Please take a moment to visit and bookmark this site. Our documents are also available on the NASDSE Publications Page.
