In addition, North Carolina shared their recent experience linking Part C and Part B 619 data in their state across two state agencies.
This presentation included strategies generated from multiple states involved in technical assistance to improve Family Outcomes representativeness and equity.

Families are key stakeholders in state and local data conversations. They provide a unique perspective that is critical for program improvement. This session introduced the Family Data Leader Pilot project. This project is a collaboration between the Center for Parent Information and Resources and Center for IDEA Early Childhood Data Systems. Participants increased their knowledge about what types of data there are, why data is collected and how data drives improvement with a focus on equity. Participants also gained strategies to successfully participate in data discussions.
