Section 618 Data
Section 618 of IDEA requires states to submit data about children who receive Section 619 preschool services annually to OSEP.
OSEP's Section 618 Data Products include State Level Static Data Tables, current and past State Level Data Files, and related data products.
Child and Family Outcomes Data
States report outcomes data for children and families receiving Section 619 preschool services on their Annual Performance Reports (APRs). National child outcomes data for Section 619 can be found in the annual Part B APR Indicator Analyses reports (see Indicator 7). Highlights from the most recent APR data analyses are also available on the Outcomes section of our website.
