This directory contains 379 discretionary projects addressing the early childhood provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It was compiled from three volumes separately published by the National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities (NICHCY). The "Personnel Preparation" section of this compilation volume presents projects designed to help address state-identified needs for qualified personnel in special education, related services, early intervention, and general education to work with infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities; and to ensure that those personnel have the skills and knowledge, derived from practices that have been determined through research and experience to be successful, that are needed to serve those children. The "Technical Assistance and Dissemination" section of this compilation volume presents projects and contracts providing technical assistance and information, through such mechanisms as institutes, Regional Resource Centers, clearinghouses, and programs that support states and local entities in building capacity to improve early intervention and special education and results for children with disabilities and their families, and programs that address systemic change goals and priorities. The Parent Training and Information (PTI) program supports parent training and information centers in carrying out activities that meet the needs of parents of children with disabilities living in the area served by the center, particularly underserved parents. It also assists parents in understanding the availability of, and how to effectively use, procedural safeguards under IDEA. The "State Program Improvement" section of this compilation volume relates to the State Improvement Grant program that existed prior to IDEA 2004 to assist state educational agencies (SEAs) and their partners in reforming and improving their systems for providing early intervention, educational, and transitional services, including their systems for professional development, technical assistance, and dissemination of knowledge about best practices, to improve results for children with disabilities. The "Research and Innovation" section of this compilation volume presents those projects funded under IDEA's Research and Innovation authority. The "Technology and Media Services" section of this compilation volume presents projects and contracts that aim to: (1) promote the development, demonstration, and utilization of technology; and (2) support education media activities designed to be of educational value to children with disabilities and other specified media-related activities. Within the compilation, the projects are grouped within the programs and competitions under which they were funded. Within each competition, the projects are arranged in order from the earliest to the most recent. Access to the project information is enhanced by several indexes, which include: (1) Project Director Index; (2) Organization Index; (3) State Index; and (4) Subject Index.
