Illinois Statewide Technical Assistance Center
The Special Education Services Division of the Illinois State
Board of Education implemented ISTAC to build the capacity of
school districts to serve students with disabilities.

systemic collection of data and the use of data-based decision
making at both the systems and practice levels. The Illinois
Statewide Technical Assistance Center consists of the following
projects:

(IATTAP)
- Illinois Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports
Network (PBIS)

(ISTAC-P)
