OVERVIEW

Why collect Early Childhood Outcomes data?

Understanding Early Childhood Outcomes

Measuring Children’s Accomplishments of the 3 Early Childhood Outcomes

Using the Early Childhood Outcomes Summary Form

What does our data tell us?

2

ECO: TARGET POPULATION

Early ACCESS• Infants and Toddlers• All infants and toddlers that have an IFSP• Include children when transitioning at the age of 3

Early Childhood Special Education• Preschoolers• All preschool children that have an IEP• Include children when transitioning from ECSE services

to kindergarten• Include children receiving ECSE services and

Kindergarten services (Part Time/Part-Time)• Does NOT include children that begin receiving special

education services in kindergarten

3

THREE EARLY CHILDHOOD OUTCOME (ECO) AREAS

Children with IFSP/IEP who demonstrate improved:

A. Positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships)

B. Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/literacy/communication)

C. Use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs

4

THE 3 ECO AREAS REFER TO THE ‘WHOLE CHILD’Represent Critical Skills that:Promote positive outcomes for young children

Support active and successful participation in everyday activities and routines, now and in the future

Integrate all areas of developmentPrepare children to enter school ready to learn at high levels (The Essential Question)

5

WHAT IS THE EARLY CHILDHOOD OUTCOMES (ECO) PROCESS?A team process for reviewing child assessment data from different sources culminating in the ‘rating’ of a child’s functioning on a scale of 1-7

Considers the child’s functioning across situations and settings

Compares child’s functioning to same age peers

6

TWO ECO SUMMARY QUESTIONS

Comparison to peers or standards: To what extent does this child show age-appropriate functioning in this ECO Area across a variety of settings and situations? (Rating: 1-7)

Progress: Has the child shown any new skills or behaviors related to this ECO Area since the last IFSP/IEP meeting? (Yes-No)

THE ECO SUMMARY FORM

When do Teams complete the ECO Summary Form?

Initial IFSP and IEP MeetingsAnnual Review, Re-Evaluation, and Exit MeetingsMust complete when children are leaving or exiting servicesTransition from Early ACCESS to ECSE**Please note when transitioning from IFSP to IEP, the ECO ratings (1-7), should be the same number for both the Final IFSP exit ECO and Initial IEP ECO

**For TK kids – check with district to see if they are considered preschool or Kindergarten

Transition from ECSE to Kindergarten

13

WHEN MUST AN ECO SUMMARY BE COMPLETED FOR AN IEP?

When children…Receive ECSE instructional and/or support only services (e.g. speech)

Receive special education services in BOTH the ECSE setting and Kindergarten setting

Transition from ECSE to kindergarten setting

Move out of state or exit ECSE services

14

THE ECO SUMMARY FORM, CONT.

NEXT STEPS

Expectation is to share this recorded webinar with District ECSE teachers as they are part of the team in making ECO decisions for preschool IEP children. 

What are some suggestions on how to best share this information with them? 

What is your plan?
