Abstract
Infants and toddlers with disabilities receive early intervention services under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Federal accountability measures require states to report child and family outcomes data annually for early intervention services. Additional information, however, is needed to understand the relationship between child outcomes, as measured by the Child Outcome Summary (COS) process, and family outcomes, as measured by the Family Outcome Survey-Revised (FOS-R). The purposes of this study were to: a) describe the degree of delay in children who receive early intervention services in Washington State; b) describe the degree of support families provided their child during their last year of enrollment in the early intervention program; c) assess the nature of the relationship between child and family outcomes. Study findings illustrate the degree of delay demonstrated by children as well as the degree of support reported by parents. The COS and FOS-R data, however, were not related; therefore, a relationship between the two measures was not established in this study. Recommendations are made to address challenges in data quality.
