Section I—Contacts, Part B
Section II—Unduplicated Parent Count
Section II—Unduplicated Parent Count
10 Unduplicated count of parents
Count only the actual number of individual parents served
during the reporting period. The same parent may have
participated in a number of workshops and received
individual assistance multiple times; but for this data point,
count each parent only one time.
Example: If Jane Smith attended 5 trainings, called the center
10 times, and was supported in 1 IEP meeting and 1
mediation, she would only be counted as one (1) parent
served.
