We assist states to build Comprehensive Systems of Personnel Development (CSPD) to improve outcomes for infants and young children with disabilities and their families.


A CSPD is a framework to support the quantity, quality, and effectiveness of the early childhood intervention workforce that provide services and interventions to facilitate the development and learning of infants and young children with disabilities and their families.
