Abstract	In order to investigate what types of training and technical assistance (TA) are needed by Early Head Start programs in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin (EHS Waves I & II), particularly with regard to children with special needs, the Great Lakes Quality Improvement Center for Disabilities (GLQIC-D) and the Region V Quality Network (Q-Net) conducted a needs assessment of the programs. A letter was sent in November 1998 to the directors of the programs asking them to complete a survey with input from other staff members. In addition to demographic data on the programs and children with disabilities, major findings regarding program needs for training and TA include: (1) programs listed teenage parents as their most important need with regard to training and TA; (2) many programs agreed that prenatal issues, families with substance abuse, teenage parents, and welfare reform were issues with regard to training and TA needs; and (3) many programs want assistance with the Head Start Family Information System (HSFIS). (Includes a copy of the survey and numerous figures and tables of findings.) (EV)
