dealing with problems they encounter that affect their daily lives and impact negatively on their willingness and/or
ability to learn.

provisions for obtaining community input from TOSA United and for review of each SAPs plan of action
D. Identify or review training needs of staff members and other resource people participating in a SAP
E. Establish a means for evaluating the effectiveness of each SAP
F. Establish procedures for maintaining effective oral/written communications
