Welcome to the IDEA Data Center (IDC)

Since 2013, the IDEA Data Center (IDC) has helped states collect, report, analyze, and use high-quality data as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). We build strong relationships with states and their local education agencies to deliver direct technical assistance and other services. We also create innovative online tools that states, local education agencies, coordinators, and others who work with IDEA data can use to stay current with the IDEA data landscape and better prepare to address their existing or emerging IDEA data quality needs.

The IDC Bee holds a paper with a bar graph. Data!

Technical Assistance Services

Under Part B of IDEA, state education agencies are required to assess the effectiveness of their special education programs and identify areas that need improvement. This is where IDC comes in; we provide states and their local teams with comprehensive onsite or virtual technical assistance that is thoughtfully individualized, efficient, and dedicated to creating and sustaining robust cultures of high-quality data.
