The Early Childhood Special Education Program Specialists support school districts serving children with disabilities through individual meetings with program administrators and also through large group meetings, or Cohort Meetings. The topics presented at Cohort Meetings are designed to improve outcomes for preschool aged children with disabilities through technical assistance, collaborative problem solving, and shared successes. Meetings take place from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Please contact your Early Childhood Special Education Program Specialist for additional questions, or email the ECSE Unit.
Annually, the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is required to report special education (SPED) data to the federal government. The October 1 Data Collection (ODC) is part of that process and is required by all Public Education Agencies (PEAs).
