Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (CSPD)
The CSPD uses a process which includes preservice, inservice and technical assistance for parents, general education staff, administrators and other service providers with the end result being better programs and services for all children and youth.
This is accomplished by collaborating with all stakeholders, disseminating best practices, and the evaluation of CSPD activities.
Montana CSPD is organized through a statewide council and five regional councils.
