CITES, in partnership with multiple districts, developed a framework of evidence-based practices to enhance the implementation of inclusive technology to support each student's success. The Center provides technical assistance to local education agencies, educators, and families to ensure students with disabilities can access and utilize the technology tools they need to foster learning and life success.

The Center's second round of funding runs through 2028. The Center’s work will extend to provide state-aligned coaching, professional learning, and implementation support to four selected LEAs. CITES will leverage Active Implementation Frameworks (AIF) to support sustained and scalable systems change that will ensure alignment with state-adopted frameworks, such as Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and state accountability systems.
