(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;

TA&D Program and will focus on
gathering relevant information on the
State Deaf-Blind Projects funded under
the OSEP Technical Assistance and
Dissemination (TA&D) Program. Data
will be obtained through three
questionnaires. A State Deaf-Blind
Project Questionnaire will be
administered to all Project Directors and
will yield detailed descriptive
information about the technical
assistance products and services
provided by the TA&D Program grantees
and to whom they provide them. A
questionnaire administered to providers
who are identified as those who work at
least on a weekly basis with students
aged 6–21 with deaf blindness will
provide information concerning
characteristics of these providers and
their needs for technical assistance to
support their work with students. A
subset of these providers who have
received child-specific technical
assistance or other individualized staffspecific technical assistance from a state
deaf-blind project will receive a short
set of additional questions about their
experiences with the TA received, and
their satisfaction with that support.
This data collection will provide
unique, detailed data and information
that are not currently available from
other sources but that are necessary in
order to accurately understand the role
that the State Deaf-Blind Projects play in
supporting local providers in their work
with children and youth with
deafblindness. The National Evaluation
of the TA&D Program is part of the
National Assessment of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education
Improvement Act of 2004 (hereafter
referred to as the National Assessment).
Failure to collect these data may result
in the ED being unable to adequately
report to Congress on the National
Assessment.
