Outcomes 101: ECO Q&A
return to Q&A HomeQ. Are states required to report on a child's progress for any outcome in which the child does not have a delay?
A. Yes. OSEP requires that states provide data on all three outcomes for every* child leaving Part C or Part B/619 services. Data are required for all outcomes even if there are no concerns about a child's development, or if the child only has delays in one or two outcome areas. This includes children receiving only a single service such as speech therapy.
* For states sampling children from their Part C or B population, ratings must be provided for every child being sampled.
