Policy

Senate Bill 210 requires the California Department of Education (CDE) to assess the language and literacy development of children, birth to five years of age, identified as deaf and hard of hearing and to annually report their progress. The CDE, Special Education Division (SED), uses the same information and formulas used to meet federal reporting requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to meet the SB 210 requirements.

The California Department of Education/Special Education Division uses DRDP data for the State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) to meet requirements of the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). This document describes the relationship between the DRDP and Indicator 7 of the SPP/APR: Preschool Outcomes.
