Use this tool to compare child outcomes summary statements across years and compare local child outcomes data to the rest of the state. This Excel-based calculator uses statistical formulas to determine if local and state level differences and the year-to-year differences in summary statements are likely due to factors other than chance (i.e., statistically different).
This provides an analysis of the FFY 2022 IDEA Child Outcomes highlights. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funds programs providing services designed to assist children with a range of delays and disabilities in achieving individualized developmental and functional goals. There are two types of programs. Part C Early Intervention is for children ages birth–2, and Part B Preschool is for children ages 3–5.
This tool provides a timeline of common activities that state and local Part B preschool programs undertake to collect and use early childhood outcomes data. The tool presents activities essential for federal reporting as well as other best practices.
The OSEP-funded Early Childhood Technical Assistance (TA) Centers are pleased to announce a variety of new and ongoing opportunities to build individual and state capacity around implementation of IDEA 0-5 in 2023. We hope this information will assist you as you consider which TA opportunities best fit your needs and priorities.
Newly updated! The Part C Exiting Data Tool is designed to be used by states as they prepare their IDEA 618 exit data for submission via EDPass.
These resources help states prepare and submit the SPP/APR, including the SPP/APR Basics online training series, checklists and tips (updated October 2024), and new calculations guidance that specifies the data to include in the calculations for each SPP/APR indicator.
New tools to support States reporting requirements on the correction of findings of noncompliance in the new SPP/APR Indicator C12 beginning with the FFY 2023 SPP/APR.
Updated in October 2024, the IDEA Part C Dispute Resolution EMAPS Survey Data Check Tool is designed to be used by lead agencies in states as they prepare their data for submission in EMAPS. The tool can identify potential format errors and validation errors and check for year-to-year changes in the data.
Have you been approached about having your Part C program participate in a statewide integrated data system initiative, such as an ECIDS or SLDS? Or is your program’s participation already in the works?
We will continue our critical work with states, ensuring they have the tools and capacity needed to build high-quality data systems and to use data to improve outcomes for young children with disabilities and their families.
