PATTAN stands for?

• A. Pennsylvania Assistive Technology and Training Network
• B. Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network
• C. Pennsylvania Technical Assistance and Training Network
• D. Pennsylvania Training and Assistive Technology Network

Answer: (B)

PATTAN is the official name of a Pennsylvania organization that supports education through two main services: training and technical assistance. The correct expansion is Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network. This emphasizes the two core activities the network provides to educators, families, and professionals across the state to help implement and support assistive technology and accessible practices. The term “Network” indicates a statewide system of collaborative support. The other options change or reorder the words, placing Assistive Technology in the title or swapping Training and Technical Assistance, which do not reflect the established name used by the organization.
