Timeline for the DRDP Assessment System Data Collection and Reporting

As of February 2007, California’s special education programs began collecting and reporting data twice yearly on all preschool-age children with IEPs using the DRDP instruments. SELPAs report DRDP data to the California Department of Education (CDE), Special Education Division (SED) through direct entry or data upload to the Special Education Desired Results System (SEDRS). The table below specifies the data collection and reporting timelines.

Please note:

• Eligible children are:
  • Every three, four, and five year old child with an IEP who receives preschool special education services (regardless of setting or level of service).
  • Those who enter special education prior to November 1 for inclusion in the fall assessment, and prior to April 1 for inclusion in the spring assessment.
• DRDP data must include a Rating Record and Information Page for each child assessed.
• At any time during the year:
  • Teachers and data entry clerks will be able to print SEDRS reports.
  • Administrators will be able to download data from the previous data collection period.
• Please check for updates on the Desired Results access Project website: www.draccess.org

SPRING	Mar. 1 – Apr. 30	Complete observation and documentation

FALL	Oct. 1 – Nov. 30	Complete observation and documentation

Note to Assessors: Assessors will submit data to SELPA in advance of the due dates to ensure sufficient time for data entry, accuracy checks, and certification by SELPA. Please contact your local SELPA office for dates that data are due.
