Para-professional training

Estimated Available Funds: The Administration has requested $90,653,000 for the Personnel
Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program for FY 2011, of which we intend to use an estimated $1,500,000 for the competition announced in this notice.

Estimated Range of Awards: $145,000–150,000.

Eligible Applicants: IHEs (as defined in section 101 of the Higher Education Act of 1965).

The purposes of this program are to (1) help address State-identified needs for highly qualified personnel—in special education, related services, early intervention, and regular education—to
work with infants, toddlers, and children with disabilities; and (2) ensure that those personnel have the necessary skills and knowledge, derived from practices that have been determined through scientifically based research and experience, to be successful in serving those children.
