Learn about how the SFP relates to global child outcomes
Explain why data are being collected
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
Outcomes

3 Global Child Outcomes
Children have positive social relationships
Children acquire and use knowledge and skills
Children take appropriate action to meet their needs
(more on these in later modules)

Summary of Functional Performance
Note: with the previous IFSP, this was a separate process called the Child Outcomes Summary (COS) process

Summary of Functional Performance
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
Section of IFSP-
Describes child’s current functioningAcross settings and with different people
Relative to age-expectations
In 3 global child outcome areas
Select statements that correspond to numbers on a rating scale (though families only see the descriptor statement)
SFP snapshots show changes in global child outcomes over time

Why gather Child Outcomes information?
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
SFP provides data for…
Individual child and family
Individual program
State program
Federal accountability
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
Why gather child outcomes information?
To provide information for families who as consumers have the right to know if their child’s program is effective
To identify strengths and weaknesses of programs and use the information to improve programs
To provide information for policymakers to justify future funding
Because the federal government requires it

“To build upon family strengths by providing coordination, supports, resources, and services to enhance the development of children with developmental delays and disabilities through everyday learning opportunities.”

Yet, ultimately, teachers, parents, and policymakers also need to know if young children are healthy, that they are developing essential social and emotional skills such as self-regulation and cooperative play, and that their emerging academic skills are developing appropriately. At the end of the day, early learning and development programs must begin to shift to evaluating the basic outcomes we seek and prize for our children."
