Early Childhood Outcomes were developed by the U.S. Department of Education. Stakeholders provided input to the U.S. Department of Education that guided the development of the early childhood outcomes as a system to monitor the progress of programs serving young children. The outcomes are the same for all children participating in early intervention and early childhood special education programs. Understanding the outcomes is important for parents because it helps provide valuable information about how your child is developing. This document will help you understand the outcomes process and your role as a participant supporting the process.
