Adaptation and Implementation of the Child Outcomes Summary process (COS): Lessons from the US, Taiwan, and Singapore

Feedback form is now closed.

Feedback Survey

The child outcomes summary process (COS) is used in many states across the U.S. to measure and report outcomes for children served in early intervention and preschool special education. The COS process is a team decision-making process involving discussion about the child's functioning across settings and situations by those who know the child best. This
process has been adapted and implemented in two Asian countries, Singapore and Taiwan, to measure child outcomes and ultimately improve systems and services. Join us as we learn about and discuss the origins and use of the COS process in the U.S. and the journeys underway in Singapore and Taiwan to adapt and implement the process. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a discussion about challenges and solutions as well as lessons learned across differing contexts.
