State/regional consortia for postsecondary support services programs for learning-disabled students can be an effective means of dealing with such problems as overworked staff, personnel without adequate understanding of learning disabilities, declining budgets, and lack of political "clout" to compete for limited resources. Consortia can provide access to up-to-date information, a support group for administrative problems, shared expertise, and effective political action. The federally-funded Northeast Technical Assistance Center for Learning Disability College Programming has developed six consortia to better meet its goals of personnel training, program development, and information sharing. State/regional postsecondary consortia also exist in other parts of the United States. The process of developing a consortium involves selecting a key geographic area in which to begin and building from there; building on earlier efforts sometimes initiated by state higher education agencies; scheduling organizational meetings, and subsequently, topical meetings; establishing "focus" groups to address specific issues; and creating informal channels of communication.
