Download or Print PDF: 

Each year, the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) requires states to report on three child outcomes for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers as part of their State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR). The California Department of Education, Special Education Division uses DRDP (2015) results submitted by its special education programs to calculate children’s progress on these child outcomes.

The three SPP Child Outcomes are:

      (A) Social relationships, which includes getting along with other children and relating well with adults,

      (B) Use of knowledge and skills, which refers to thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, and early literacy and math skills, and

      (C) Taking action to meet needs, which includes feeding, dressing, self-care, and following rules related to health and safety.
