The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004) requires states to publicly report Early Intervention Program (EIP) performance against targets established in the State Performance Plan (SPP) no later than 120 days after the state's submission of its Annual Performance Report (APR). The SPP is a plan that describes the state’s efforts to implement the requirements of IDEA and improve results for children with developmental delays or disabilities. It articulates how the District of Columbia will improve its performance on prescribed Indicators. The state must report, in its Annual Performance Report (APR), on its progress toward meeting the measurable and rigorous targets detailed in its SPP. The SPP and APR have been combined into one document.
