OSEP provides differentiated monitoring and support (DMS) to states as part of its Results Driven Accountability (RDA) system. Under RDA, OSEP shifted from monitoring solely on compliance to monitoring and support focused on both compliance and improving results for children with disabilities. OSEP differentiates its monitoring and support for each state based on the state’s unique strengths, progress, challenges, and needs. Beginning in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2021, all Part B and Part C states are monitored by OSEP in a five-year cycle using OSEP developed protocols to guide review and state engagement.
