New Jersey Special Education State Reporting

Tool Search: State Reporting

The State Reporting tool allows users to store and manage student Special Education state reporting data. Information recorded on this tool removes the legal burden of having a Special Ed team meeting for an amendment to the setting for age-based changes such as an early childhood student aging out.

Anytime a student enters a new Special Ed Setting, a State Reporting record needs to be created. State Reporting records cannot overlap.

See the core SPED State Reporting article for information on necessary tool rights and guidance on adding SPED State Reporting or Setting records.

Language Acquisition

The language acquisition rating of a preschool child who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing.

This determination is completed in consultation with all members of the team working with the child, including parents, and based on multiple sources of information - observations, interviews, assessments, etc. 

For English Language Learners (ELLs), assessing whether the child is acquiring English commensurate with their ELL peers across all settings should also be considered when reporting on language development.
