News and Updates

Remember that you can produce individual child reports for the DRDP assessments you completed this fall. The Child Report, Child Progress Report, and Peer Reference reports provide information that you can use to plan instruction; inform goals, outcomes, and learning targets; and share with families.

Join us for live, online professional development webinars scheduled throughout the fall. In each session, learn more about assessment and instruction or intervention for young children with IFSPs and IEPs. All sessions offer opportunities to ask questions, receive resources, and learn from each other.

The California Department of Education, Special Education Division requires training for all early childhood special educators who assess children with the DRDP. SELPAs are responsible for ensuring that all staff who administer the DRDP complete training.

We hope you enjoy this year’s course, “Benny Having a Snack”.
