SPPI-12 (Early Childhood Transition) refers to compliance for children referred from Part C of IDEA before age three, found eligible for Part B, and have an individualized education program (IEP) developed and implemented by their third birthday to receive early childhood special education (ECSE) services.
LEAs will submit student-level data for children who had an eligibility determination (ED) date during the annual data collection period which occurs from July 1 to June 30.
SPPI-12 is a compliance indicator used for meeting federal public reporting requirements for the State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR). It is also part of the federally required elements (FREs) used along with the results-driven accountability (↠) indicators for making annual LEA special education determinations (34 CFR §300.600(a)(2)).
