Child Outcomes Summary (COS) Ratings

The Bottom Line

Child Outcome Summary (COS) ratings must be completed for all children entering and exiting Part C and Part B ECSE services if they will receive 6 months or more of ECSE services. 

States are required to submit data gathered from COS ratings to the federal government in order to receive federal funding for special education services.
