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.
Linking and integrating IDEA data with different data systems can help U.S. states, territories, and other entities answer critical questions about children and families, their needs, and experiences with IDEA services and supports. This Brief shares what states were doing in spring 2021 to share, link and integrate their IDEA data with data from other early childhood programs.
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.
The ECTA and DaSy Centers worked together to provide technical assistance and highlight state practices. These state snapshots are organized by selected indicators from the SPP/APR to support OSEP’s APR Indicator Analysis.
This session provided a multitude of resources available, data sources to guide state-level decision-making, reports to inform current or future goals and outcomes, and organizations to support engagement in the broader ecosystem.
This presentation at the 2024 IDIO conference provided information and resources to help states to build a solid understanding of the SPP/APR indicators and the nuances of each calculation. Resources highlighed included the “SPP/APR Basics” online training modules, the Checklists and Tips, and the new Data Calculation documents.
This IDIO Workshop on Data Linking and Integration highlighted tools and strategies to improve DLI for Part C to B transition. Participants collaborated to identify challenges and solutions with their program’s processes.
Better data is critical to improving the early childhood ecosystem. This resource is meant to help states understand the return on investment of improving their early childhood data capacity, provide guidance about how to make the improvements they need, and support them in laying a strong foundation for connecting robust early childhood data with statewide longitudinal data systems.
This guide provides cross-sector teams at the state, territory, tribal, and local levels with strategies for collecting and using data across the mixed delivery system of early care and education programs.
