The purpose of this brief is to increase states’ awareness of national data resources that can support states in sharing, linking, integrating, and using data on young children with disabilities to enhance the provision of early intervention (EI) and early childhood special education (ECSE) services. The audience for this brief includes states’ early childhood leaders working to improve outcomes for young children with disabilities and their families.
