TABLE 1 

REPORT OF CHILDREN RECEIVING

EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH PART C

Specific State-Designated Date Between October 1 and December 1 of 20141

Paperwork Burden Statement

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of 

information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. Public reporting burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to average 45.5 hours per State response, including time for 

reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and 

completing and reviewing the collection of information. The obligation to respond to this collection is 

required to obtain or retain a benefit (P.L. 108.446 Section 618). Send comments regarding the burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this 

burden, to the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20202-4536 or 

email ICDocketMgr@ed.gov and reference the OMB Control Number 1820-0557. Note: Please do not 

return the completed Report on Children Receiving Early Intervention Services in Accordance with Part C 

form to this address.

All States must submit these data via the IDEA Part C Child Count and Setting survey in the 

EDFacts online survey tool, EMAPS. 

Instructions

Authorization: 20 U.S.C. 1418(a)(1)(B), (a)(2), and (a)(3) and 1435(c)(3)

Due Date: April 1, 2015

Sampling Allowed: No

General Instructions

1. Report the number of eligible children receiving early intervention services according to an 

active individualized family service plan (IFSP) in place on the count date in Sections A, B, 

and C.

2

 This must be an unduplicated count within each State; each child is counted once and 

only once within the State. 

2. The count date for Sections A, B, and C is a state-designated date between October 1, 2014

and December 1, 2014 (inclusive), and that date should remain consistent each year.

3

 

 

1 This collection also includes cumulative numbers of infants and toddlers receiving early intervention services during the most recent 12-

month period for which data are available.

2 Include children for whom the only early intervention services on the IFSP for which parental consent was provided are service coordination 

services or services provided to the family, such as counseling, family training, and home visits.

3 OSEP recognizes that, rather than referencing a numerical date (such as November 1) for taking its Child Count each year, some States may have

identified a specific day of the week in a given month each year (such as the last Friday of each October). In addition, some States may be 

unable to reference the same Child Count date if, in a given year, that date falls on a weekend. Therefore, it is acceptable for the actual date of 

the Child Count in any given year to slide within six (6) days of the State-established reference date without generating any error flags upon 

submission to the Federal data system.

3. Report the cumulative number of infants and toddlers with disabilities, ages birth 

through 2, who received early intervention services (as defined below) during the most 

recent 12-month period for which data are available in Sections D and E. 

4. All reported totals must equal the sum of the subsequent rows or columns. Report zeroes (0) 

where there are no children to report in a data cell.

5. Include children in your State who are:

a. Under age three and either (i) Experiencing developmental delays as defined by the 

State under 20 U.S.C. 1432(5)(A)(i) and 1435(a)(1); or (ii) Diagnosed with a 

physical or mental condition which has a high probability of resulting in 

developmental delay under IDEA Section 632(5)(A)(i). Include these children in 

sections A, B, C, and D.

b. Under age three and at risk of having substantial delays if early intervention services 

are not provided, if your state has elected under 20 U.S.C. 1432(5)(B)(i) to serve such

children. Include these children in sections A, B, and C, but not D.

c. Age three and older if your state has elected under 20 U.S.C. 1432(5)(B)(ii) and 

1435(c) to provide parents the choice of, and the child’s parent has consented to their

child, continuing to receive Part C services (in lieu of FAPE) under 20 U.S.C. 

1435(c). Include these children in sections A, B, and C, but not D.

d. Receiving early intervention services regardless of whether federal IDEA Part C 

funds, IDEA Part B funds, or other funds are used to provide these services.

4

 Early

intervention services are developmental services that:

(i) are provided in conformity with an IFSP;

(ii) are provided under public supervision (i.e., Federal, State, or local funds are 

used in connection with the provision of services). This includes children 

receiving services through a program funded by public monies as well as 

children receiving services from a private provider, but whose services are 

supervised or paid for by a public agency;

(iii) are provided at no cost except where Federal or State law provides for a 

system of payments by families, including a schedule of sliding fees;

(iv) are designed to meet the developmental needs of an infant or toddler with a

disability (as defined in 20 U.S.C. 1432(5));

(v) meet the standards of the State and the requirements of IDEA; and

 

4

Include children for whom the only early intervention services on the IFSP for which parental consent was provided are service 

coordination services or services provided to the family, such as counseling, family training, and home visits. Include all 

children for whom Part C personnel have been unable to provide early intervention services due to child or family 

circumstances, lack of response from the parent or family, or inability to contact or locate the family or child after repeated, 

documented attempts.

(vi) are provided, to the maximum extent appropriate, in natural environments.

More detailed information about the definition of early intervention services can be found 

in 20 U.S.C. 1432(4) and in 34 CFR §§ 303.13 and 303.16.

6. Do NOT include on this form children age 3 or older (for example, who are receiving FAPE 

using Part C funds under 20 U.S.C. 1438(3)) unless your state has elected under 20 U.S.C. 

1432(5)(B)(ii) and 1435(c) to provide parents the choice of, and the child’s parent has 

consented to their child, continuing to receive Part C services under 20 U.S.C. 1435(c). 

7. STATES SHOULD NOT PROVIDE PERCENTAGES IN SECTIONS A OR B, AS THEY 

WILL BE CALCULATED AFTER THE COUNTS ARE SUBMITTED. 

8. In providing data for this collection, the State is to submit complete and unsuppressed data.

Race/Ethnicity Instructions (Sections A, C, and D)

STATES MUST REPORT THE RACE/ETHNICITY OF THE CHILD, NOT THE FAMILY. FOR 

EACH OF THE RACE/ETHNICITY CATEGORIES, REPORT AN UNDUPLICATED COUNT OF 

ALL CHILDREN SERVED UNDER IDEA, PART C.

In October 2007, the Department of Education published its Final Guidance on Maintaining, Collecting 

and Reporting Racial and Ethnic Data to the U.S. Department of Education in the Federal Register (Vol. 

72, No. 202, available at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/index.html ), referred to in these instructions as 

the new guidance. The procedures for collecting, aggregating, and reporting race and ethnicity, as 

described in the new guidance, must be implemented for the report of the 2014 Child Count data. 

The following definitions of the seven categories for aggregate report of race/ethnicity have been adapted 

from definitions appearing in the new guidance.
