The NCDPI Consultant for Significant Disabilities serves as a resource to Local Education Agencies (LEAs). The goal is to help ensure that students with significant cognitive disabilities develop intellectually, physically, emotionally, and vocationally. This can be accomplished by providing universal, tailored, and customized support through professional learning and technical assistance to LEAs throughout the state. This fosters capacity building and sustainment of best practices for LEAs to provide appropriate individualized education programs in the least restrictive environment.
