Child Outcomes INFO

Child Outcomes

There are three Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)/Part C child outcomes, which match BabyNet system children’s development to that of children their same age. The following child outcomes are focused on children:

• having positive social relationships,
• acquiring and using knowledge and skills, and
• taking appropriate action to meet their needs.

For more information regarding 2004 IDEA reauthorization changes view the following presentation by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP): http://www.nectac.org/idea/idea.asp
