Identifying Meaningful Differences in Child Find (2018)

This Excel calculator analyzes child find data, and makes comparisons related to percentage of infants and toddlers served, ncluding:

It also computes confidence intervals to determine whether the difference between the two numbers is large enough to be considered meaningful (statistically significant).
