The Office of Special Education (OSEP) requires that states report to the public annually on the performance of the state and share regional public reporting tables on 8 of 14 state indicators.
In accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA), each state must have a State Performance Plan (SPP) in place to evaluate the state’s efforts to meet the requirements and purpose of the implementation of IDEA. The State Performance Plan supports the goals of the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) - a commitment to ensure the opportunity of a quality education and services for every child- and supports the goals of Nebraska’s Part C Early Intervention program-The Early Development Network (EDN). The goal of the EDN is to provide coordinated services for Nebraska families as conveniently as possible. The program helps families understand their child's disability and aids in dealing with situations that interfere with the child's development. EDN supports children birth through three.
