The RRTC undertakes Technical Assistance (TA) initiatives designed to build organization and clinical capacities that enhance function via service options and delivery, increase health surveillance and promotion for people with disabilities, and aid families with caregiving with advancing age.

Our TA activities encourage evidence-based health promotion research, support increased self-advocacy by people with I/DD and their families, improve service delivery by furthering collaboration between the aging and disability service networks, aid with long-term care associated with age-related decline and dementia, and promote progressive long-term care policies by focusing attention and providing consultation on the important cross-cutting issues affecting people with disabilities and the general older population.
