This study
compiled descriptive information about what states are doing or
planning to do with early intervention data systems, a component
of early intervention systems as specified in Part H of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act. The study examined the uses of
data systems in eight states: Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. The study found that
the state response to the requirement to establish a data system
has taken many forms. Among the dimensons on which state data systems
differ are: the level of governance (local, state, federal) for
which the system was designed to provide information, the kinds
of data being collected, the point in the information flow at which
data are computerized, how data are transferred from the local level
to the state, the type of reports generated from the data, and the
capability of the system to address federal reporting requirements.
State agencies are using their data systems to oversee service delivery
by local programs, to bill for services, and to respond to federal
reporting requirements. Local programs are using management information
systems to improve the delivery of early intervention services.
The report closes with a summary, a set of recommendations; and
synopses of information about each state's early intervention system
and data system. (JDD)
