Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average **45.5** hours per State response, including time for re viewing 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. 108.4 4 6 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

- 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 ED**  **Facts online survey tool, EMAPS.**  Instructions Authorization: 20 U.S.C. 14 18 (a)(1)(B), (a)(2), and (a)(3) and 1435(c)(3) Due Date: **April 1 , 201**  **5** 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 undupli cated 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 mos t recent 12**  **- month period for which data are available.**  **2** In clude 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 t

hat, 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, som e 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 referenc e date without generating any error flags upon submission to the Federal data system.Page 2 of 6

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.
