Exit Information
Introduction
Under new mandates NYSDOH is required to report to the Federal Government on progress made by children in the Early Intervention Program related to three specific outcome areas
Outcome Area 1
Outcome Area 2
Outcome Area 3
Introduction
Information on child outcomes is collected at entry and exit of Early Intervention services for children who are found eligible for the early intervention program
To track progress the Child Outcomes Summary Form (COSF) was developed
The COSF is completed for children who receive an IFSP
Introduction
Service providers are responsible for participating in the discussion during the IFSP meeting to complete the COSF
Children must have participated in the EIP program for at least 6 months to complete the COSF
Introduction
To participate in the conversation you will need to provide information about:
The results of your evaluations
The child’s current skills and abilities
Before the discussion it will be helpful to review:
Session notes
