This DaSy Part C Data System Functions resource contains a list of Part C data system functions designed to assist in developing and enhancing high-quality state data systems. The primary audiences for this document are Part C coordinators and data managers, data system project managers, technical staff supporting state data systems, and possibly state data system vendors approved by the state. (While this list is designed specifically for Part C, many of the functions are applicable to Part B 619.)
While this list of functions is not exhaustive, it does include many Part C data system functions to consider. Part C programs should review this Part C Data System Functions list against their own unique needs. When enhancing or designing Part C data systems, DaSy encourages programs also review two other DaSy-developed related products that complement this list of data system functions.
- DaSy Data System Framework — designed to assist Part C and Section 619 programs in developing and enhancing high-quality state data systems and improving the quality of their IDEA data. The Part C Data System Functions list aligns with the System Design and Development component of the framework.
- IFSP Information Toolkit — includes information about other features that may be included in a state data system (e.g., parent portal, IFSP transfers, dashboards). Because Individualized Family Service Plans are a major part of state data systems, the DaSy Center encourages reviewing this toolkit.
Please contact your DaSy state TA liaison or contact the DaSy Center directly if you’d like assistance using this resource.
