PREFACEThis document provides technical instructions for building files that are submitted through the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN) Submission System (ESS). The EDEN Submission System is an electronic system that facilitates the efficient and timely transmission of data from SEAs to the U.S. Department of Education.
This document is to be used in coordination with other documentation including the EDEN Submission System User Guide and the Business Rules Guide.
Data submitted through the ESS is authorized by an Annual Mandatory Collection of Elementary and Secondary Education Data Through EDFacts (OMB 1875-0240, expires 9/30/2013). EDFacts is a U.S. Department of Education (ED) initiative to govern, acquire, validate, and use high-quality, kindergarten through grade 12 (K–12) performance data for education planning, policymaking, and management and budget decision-making to improve outcomes for students. EDFacts centralizes data provided by SEAs, LEAs and schools, and provides users with the ability to easily analyze and report data. This initiative has significantly reduced the reporting burden for state and local data producers, and has streamlined data collection, analysis and reporting functions at the federal, state and local levels.

1.0 PURPOSEThis document contains instructions for building fixed and delimited files to submit EDFacts Data Group: Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Early Childhood Tables, DG613. The definition for this data group is in row “Table Name” in Table 4.2-1.
The data collected using this file specification are required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 618.
For states approved for EDFacts only submissions, the data will be used as responses in Table 1, “Report of Children with Disabilities Receiving Special Education under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act” and Table 3, “Part B, Individuals With Disabilities Education Act Implementation of FAPE Requirements.”
The data are also used for monitoring the programs and activities under IDEA. The appendix contains a crosswalk between this file and the applicable sections of Tables 1 and 3.
The LEA data collected through this file are also used for the Non-Fiscal Survey of the Common Core of Data (CCD).
A separate document contains the XML file formats. General guidance for constructing all file types may be found in the EDFacts Workbook.
1.1 Changes from the SY 2009-10 File Specifications
There have been changes to this file specification that impact the record layout: Permitted values for racial ethnic Permitted values for educational environment (IDEA) early childhood
1.2 Requirements for Submitting this Data Group
This section contains two tables that summarize the reporting requirements. The first table contains the reporting period, the education units included or excluded, the type of count, and zero count reporting. The second table contains the required categories and applicable totals.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION N089 - Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Early Childhood File Specifications v7.1
2.0 GUIDANCE FOR SUBMITTING THIS FILEThis file contains an unduplicated count of the children with disabilities ages 3 through 5 receiving special education and related services according to an individualized education program (IEP) or an individualized family service plan (IFSP), or a services plan in place on the state’s child count date3.
See below for additional guidance concerning this file:
When is the SEA file due?The SEA file is due no later than 11:59:59pm ET on the first Wednesday of February .
Do not submit preliminary or placeholder data just to meet the submission deadline. The submission of the SEA data will be assessed by the Office of Special Education (OSEP) for timeliness, completeness, passing edit checks, and for responding to data note requests about year-to-year changes in Performance Indicator #20 on your state’s Annual Performance Report (APR). Data submissions with missing data elements are rated by OSEP as “incomplete.”
If data will not be submitted by the due date, remember to update your submission plan and contact the Partner Support Center.
Which children should be reported in this file?Include all children with disabilities (IDEA) who are ages 3 through 5 receiving special education and related services according to an individual education program or service plan in place on the count date. This includes children enrolled in private school by a parent, but who are still receiving special education services through the LEA under a services plan.
What children should not be reported in this file?Do not include children with disabilities (IDEA) who are ages 6 and over. (Those children are reported in N/X002.)
How should children with disabilities (IDEA) who receive their education in a state-operated school (i.e., state school for the deaf) be reported?Children who receive their education exclusively at a state-operated facility should be reported in the SEA level count. If an LEA retains responsibility for the education of children who receive their education exclusively at a state-operated facility, the LEA may also report those students, depending on state procedures.
How are children who reside in one LEA but received services in another reported?3 Children enrolled in private school by a parent, but who are still receiving special education services through the LEA, may have a services plan rather than an IEP or IFSP. These children should be included in the child count.
January 2011 5 SY 2010-11
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION N089 - Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Early Childhood File Specifications v7.1
Students should be reported by the LEA that has responsibility for the students.
Are all children reported in all category sets and subtotals?Yes.
How are counts of children reported by Age (Early Childhood)?Children should be reported according to their discrete age, based on each child’s age as of the child count date.
How are counts of children reported by racial ethnic (RE)?SEAs must submit racial and ethnic data using 7 permitted values, which are:
AM7 – American Indian or Alaska NativeAS7 – AsianBL7 – Black or African AmericanHI7 – Hispanic/LatinoPI7 – Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific IslanderWH7 – WhiteMU7 – Two or more races
How are counts of children reported by LEP status (both)?Students who meet the definition of limited English proficient students in the EDFacts Workbook should be reported as LEP students. Students who do not meet that definition should be reported as not LEP students.
How are counts of children reported by disability category?Report students by one of the disability categories that are listed in the EDFacts Workbook.
How are children reported by developmental delay?States must have defined and established eligibility criteria for developmental delay for children ages 3 through 5 in order to report children under that permitted value in this file. Only children ages 3 through 5 may be reported in the developmental delay disability category, and then only in states with diagnostic instruments and procedures to measure delays in physical, cognitive, communication, social, or emotional, or adaptive development. Although federal law does not require that states and LEAs categorize children according to developmental delay, if this category is required by state law, states are expected to report these children in the developmental delay category.
If the development delay is not authorized for use by the state, the permitted value development delay is not used in the file. The responses to the EMAPS SSS – IDEA Metadata and the permitted values reported must align.
How is a child with more than one primary disability reported?
January 2011 6 SY 2010-11
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION N089 - Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Early Childhood File Specifications v7.1
If a child has only two primary disabilities and those disabilities are deafness and blindness and the child is not reported as having a developmental delay, that child must be reported under the permitted value “deaf-blindness.”
A child who has more than one primary disability and is not reported under the permitted value "deaf-blindness" (as explained in the bullet above) or as the permitted value of developmental delay must be reported under the permitted value “multiple disabilities.”
NEW! How are counts of children reported by Educational Environment (IDEA) Early Childhood?The chart below explains the permitted values used for early childhood educational environment.

For SY 2011-12 and SY 2012-13, all states must report using the requirements noted in the tables above.
NEW! What if my state cannot report the early childhood educational environments data based on the new permitted values for SY 2010-11?
For states that, despite their best efforts, are unable to report the setting where the child receives the majority of hours of special education and related services, the state may for SY 2010-11 only, report these children using the following permitted value to indicate type of program where the child spends time during the week:
Children attending a regular early childhood program (RECNNY)
NEW! How are the early childhood educational environments defined for SY 2010-11 and beyond?
A complete listing of definitions can be found on pages 2 – 6 of Educational Environments, Table 3 -- Child Count Date for 2010 at:
https://www.ideadata.org/PartBForms.asp#y201011
What are regular early childhood programs?A regular early childhood program is a program that includes a majority (at least 50 percent) of nondisabled children (i.e., children not on IEPs). This may include, but is not limited to the following:
Head Start Kindergarten Preschool classes offered to an eligible pre-kindergarten population by the public
school system Private kindergartens or preschools Group child development center or child care
What are special education programs?A special education program is a program that includes less than 50 percent nondisabled children (i.e., children not on IEPs). This may include, but is not limited to the following:

Special education classes ino Regular school buildingso Trailers or portables outside regular school buildingso Child care facilitieso Hospital facilities on an outpatient basiso Other community-based settings
Separate schools Residential facilities
What if some data are not available?If some data are not available, the data can be reported as “missing” by including records with student counts of “-1.” If a “-1” is present in the SEA level file on the due date, it will be interpreted as “missing” data which is inconsistent with IDEA reporting requirements. The state program office will be held accountable for this noncompliance.
How does EDFacts data map to DANS?A crosswalk to Tables1 and 3 is in the appendix.
What happens to the EDFacts data for a state that has been approved as an EDFacts-only data submitter for this file?Currently, EDFacts data are made available to OSEP’s contractor within 24 hours after the submission due date. The contractor then analyzes the IDEA data for data anomalies and may contact the state’s IDEA Part B data manager (and EDFacts coordinator) for further clarification.
