National Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center (NECTAC)

The National Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center supports the implementation of the early childhood provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA). They work with administrators from all States and other U.S. jurisdictions responsible for planning and implementing services under the IDEA to strengthen service systems and ensure that children with disabilities (birth through 5) and their families receive and benefit from high quality, culturally appropriate, family-centered supports and services.

The Commission's website highlights its key reforms and initiatives, including the Children's Centers, NYS Court Improvement Project, Healthy Development of Children in Foster Care Project, and the Babies Can't Wait Initiative.
