Use the Interim DRDP for Special Ed Through Spring 2021

The requirements for children with Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs), and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) to be assessed with the DRDP are:

Children will continue to be assessed with the reduced set of DRDP measures in the Interim DRDP for Special Ed through the spring of 2021
Children must have a signed IFSP in a local education agency (LEA) or a signed preschool IEP to be assessed
Special education services must have begun by April 1 for a child to be included in the spring DRDP assessment

We urge you to download, read, and keep handy the “Supplemental Guidance for Special Education on Using the DRDP during the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
