Victoria (Vicci) Tucci (1949–2024) was the developer of the Competent Learner Model (CLM), a system of assessment, instruction, and training that aims to improve the participation and independence of children and adults, specifically those with developmental disabilities.# Tucci developed and implemented CLM for over 35 years and the model is implemented in twelve countries and five US states.#
Career

She began her career working with intellectually and behaviorally challenged adults before working in a state hospital, residential house, and school district.# She spent most of her career with the Monterey County Office of Education where she began to develop the CLM framework to assist administrators and educators.#
CLM includes assessments and curricula to use with students and training and coaching tools for supporting staff.# Its collaborative model has been adopted at schools and clinics in the US, Bulgaria, Canada, China, England, France, Italy, Malaysia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Uganda.#
