Connecticut Birth to Three System - Part C Child Count Data

The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) collects data from each state for an Annual Report to Congress.  This is often referred to as December 1 data or 618 data since the legal authority for its collection is found in section 618 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.  These reports currently include:
