ESC 18 Midland

Project TEDD trained 15 special education teachers and other professionals from 9 school districts across ESC Region 18 on September 10, 2024. This was our first group for the Year 5 training cycle, and we are looking forward to seeing the impact on their region as they train other individuals in their schools and communities about the mental health needs of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
