BLaST IU 17 Transforming lives and communities through educational services.

BLaST Intermediate Unit 17 (serving Bradford, Lycoming, Sullivan and Tioga counties) assists regional schools with their charge to educate children, provide speech, hearing, and vision services as well as psychological services. Our training and consultant staff provides a valuable resource to districts in the areas of behavioral manangement, reading and literacy strategies, progress monitoring, brain development theory, and technology usage.....just to name a few. Additionally, we are fully engaged in assisting LEAs with their regular education curriculum and professional development needs. Our business management services assist districts with payroll, insurance and other purchasing needs all in an effort to utilize our consortium buying position to cut costs. Our regional technology leadership has lead to wide area network services being delivered for the first time to the Northern region of our service area - this effort will first benefit schools and children but will also soon be available to regional businesses at a much lower cost than they would have ever been able to afford individually.
