Determining a Child's Eligibility for Part C Services Remotely
Center for IDEA Early Childhood Data Systems (DaSy)
This report includes guidance, considerations, and resources for state staff and local practitioners who are determining Part C eligibility remotely. As a result of COVID-19, many states are having to determine a child's eligibility for Part C services remotely using a variety of approaches such as teleconference, videoconference, and sharing information and video synchronously and asynchronously. Therefore, effective state policies, procedures, and practices are important to appropriately identify children eligible for Part C services. This document first includes background information about associated tool table resources and then the content is organized across three main sections. The first section of the document addresses big picture system-wide considerations. The second section includes practice strategies and considerations related to the planning, collecting information, and analyzing findings and taking action related to the process of remotely determining a child's eligibility for early intervention. The third section includes information about related resources.
