The Rural School Outreach Program, funded by the Montana Office of Public Instruction and coordinated by the Rural Institute for Inclusive Communities, has concluded. This initiative provided training, resources, and technical assistance to help Montana schools support students with disabilities in the areas of postsecondary transition, deafblindness, and assistive technology.
Although the program has ended, educators can still access support. MonTECH continues to provide assistive technology training and device loans; the Montana DeafBlind Project offers technical assistance and professional development; and the Montana Transition and Employment Projects shares tools and guides for planning the shift from school to adulthood. These projects remain available to help schools and families across Montana.
