The Inclusionary Practices Technical Assistance Network (IPTN) is a collaboration between the OSPI, WestEd, and education partners across Washington state. It is more than a network; it’s a transformative force shaping the future of inclusive education.

The IPTN is designed to provide high-quality guidance, technical assistance (TA), and professional development resources to districts to disrupt segregated systems of disproportionality and reduce exclusionary practices in Washington schools. This will result in improved student outcomes, with an additional focus on the outcomes and the inclusion of students with disabilities having Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and for Black students with disabilities.
