RD Zone: About Region D Centers

Through its technical assistance, the Region D PTAC supports sustainable, independent, empowered, and successful Parent Centers. 

The Region D PTAC is funded by the Office of Special Education Programs at the U.S. Department of Education. The Region D PTAC utilizes existing pools of resources to develop the capacity of Parent Centers in Region D by providing targeted and intensive technical assistance so that Parent Centers will more effectively serve families in their state!
