With Disabilities and Their Families in Accordance to Part C; Report on 
Infants and Toddlers Exiting Part C Section 618 of the Individuals with 
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Public Law 108-446, directs the 
Secretary of Education to obtain data on: (1) the number and percentage 
of infants and toddlers with disabilities, by race, ethnicity, and

number and percentage of infants and toddlers, by race and ethnicity, 
who are at risk of having substantial developmental delays (as 
described in Section 632), and who are receiving early intervention 
services under Part C; and (3) the number and percentage of children 
with disabilities, by race, ethnicity, and gender, who, from birth 
through age 2, stopped receiving early intervention services because of 
program completion or for other reasons. The specific legislative 
authority for these data collections may be found in section 
618(a)(1)(B), section 618(a)(1)(C), section 618(a)(2) and section 
618(a)(3). The purposes of such data are: (1) to assess the progress, 
impact, and effectiveness of State and local efforts to implement the 
legislation and (2) to provide Congress, the public, and Federal, 
State, and local educational agencies with relevant information. OSEP 
also uses these data for monitoring activities, planning purposes, 
congressional reporting, and disseminating data to individuals and 
groups. This revision adds meta data questions to the Report on Infants 
and Toddlers Exiting Part C and the Report of Children Receiving Early 
Intervention Services in Accordance with Part C, as well as technical 
edits to the Report of Program Settings Where Early Intervention 
Services Are Provided.
