SEDRS / Reporting Data

Overview of the DRDP Data Reporting System for Preschool Children with IEPs

DRDP results for preschool-age children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are reported two times per year to the California Department of Education/Special Education Division (CDE/SED) via the Special Education Desired Results System (SEDRS). SEDRS is an online data reporting system designed to report the DRDP data to CDE. SEDRS is accessed via through secure password accounts distributed by SELPAs.

The table below provides an overview of the data reporting system for the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) assessments for preschool special education.

SELPAs determine a system for reporting DRDP data SELPAs enter data into SEDRS:
  • Directly, or
  • Using a Local Management Information System (MIS) and then bulk upload DRDP records into SEDRS
SELPAs identify the personnel who will input data:
  • Primary IEP service providers, and/or
  • Data entry clerks

IEP teams are responsible for documentation

IEP teams document the following for every child:
  1. The DRDP instrument used with the child - for IEPs dated on or after September 1, 2009, this will be the DRDP access.
  2. The adaptations that are used on a daily basis while the child participates in the preschool program and that are in place when completing the DRDP assessment.
Primary IEP service providers conduct the DRDP assessment

  • Primary IEP service providers observe and document children’s progress on the DRDP instruments throughout the year.
  • Every three, four and five year old child with a preschool IEP is assessed.

Primary IEP service providers complete the DRDP Rating Record for each child twice a year

Each fall and spring, Primary IEP service providers complete their observations and documentation.
  • Fall observations are completed between October 1 and November 30.
  • Spring observations are completed between March 1 and April. 30.
  • A print version of the Rating Record with Information Page is then completed for each child.

Rating Records are submitted to the SELPA

The primary IEP service provider submits completed Rating Records/Information Pages to the SELPA office.

The SELPA ensures that the records are entered into SEDRS and reported to CDE

Fall DRDP data is entered and submitted between December 1 and January 31.

Spring DRDP data is entered and submitted between May 1 and June 30.

DRDP data is certified At the end of each reporting period, the SELPAs certify to CDE that their records are complete and on time.
DRDP reports are generated
  • Reports of DRDP assessment results are available through SEDRS for SELPA and district administrators.
  • DRDP ratings are converted to scale scores so can be compared over time to describe the child’s progress.
  • Service providers may receive a Developmental Status and/or Developmental Progress Report for each child assessed by contacting their local administrator.
