Turn IDEA Data into Action with CIFR’s New Resource

Ready to go beyond collecting and reporting IDEA fiscal data to find ways to improve your state’s programs for supporting infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities? Where to start?

CIFR’s new resource—From Data to Action: Using IDEA Fiscal Data—helps Part C and Part B state staff explore their data and initiate conversations to improve state systems. The Ask, Reflect, Find approach serves as a starting point for identifying and acting on important trends that may inform decisions about technical assistance, monitoring activities, policies, and practices.
