Professionals supporting young children often face complex situations—and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
The Project LAUNCH Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) provides free, short-term, individualized consultation for professionals working with children from birth to age 8 in Erie County.
TAP connects you with local subject-matter experts who can help you think through challenges, strengthen practice, and identify appropriate next steps—without observation, evaluation, or direct service delivery.
All services are fully funded through Project LAUNCH and available at no cost to professionals in Erie County, PA.
How TAP Can Support Your Work
-
Classroom and Program Challenges
When classroom challenges feel repetitive or unclear, TAP helps you strengthen your approach, understand what may be driving behavior, and apply strategies that support structure and learning.
-
Developmental Questions
When development feels uncertain, TAP helps you build clarity, interpret what you’re seeing, and feel more confident in how you respond and communicate next steps.
-
Family & System Considerations
When family or system factors add complexity, TAP helps you navigate conversations, think through your role, and respond with greater confidence and professionalism.
-
Health & Wellness Questions
When health and wellness questions come up, TAP helps you deepen your understanding of how these factors impact children’s learning and behavior, so you can feel more informed and confident in your day-to-day work.
Why Use TAP?
Professional consultation helps reduce isolation and strengthens practice.
TAP can:
- Provide a structured space to think through challenging situations

You don’t have to carry complex situations alone.
When professionals are supported with timely, informed guidance, outcomes improve for children, programs, and systems alike.
