Have questions about how to respond to the requirements for SPP/APR compliance indicators? Do you lie awake at night wondering how much specificity is enough specificity when you respond to those requirements? And what about addressing compliance or the correction and verification of non-compliance findings in your state’s SPP/APR? In this IDC webinar event, host Nancy Johnson discusses information about these all-important requirements, in addition to some real-life stories and strategies from states about how they get it all done.

SPP/APR Indicator 6A data have not budged in decades. Is it true that there hasn’t been progress on inclusion for preschoolers with disabilities or are data quality issues preventing us from seeing progress? Join us to explore solutions to promote high-quality preschool inclusion practices and methods to improve data quality for indicator 6A. We will dig deeper to understand the relationship between inclusion, placement practices, and quality data collection. 

Join this webinar to learn state strategies for recruiting stakeholders including parents, sustaining their interest, and working effectively with them to improve outcomes for children and youth with disabilities and their families.
