Conversion #1: COSF
![Page 3: Child Outcomes Measurement Tools & Process](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052401/568146fb550346895db435b8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The COSF is NOT an Assessment Instrument
Meet federal reporting requirements
Uses information that IFSP/IEP teams already have
Allows for the use of different tools to measure status at entry and exit

Understanding The COSF’s 7-Point Scale
Ratings of 6 or 7 Ratings of 6 or 7 represent age-represent age-
expected or age-expected or age-appropriate appropriate
functioning with functioning with each lower point each lower point
being progressively being progressively more distant from more distant from age expectations. age expectations.

The “B” Question to be answered at Exit
Has the child shown any new skills or behaviors related to this outcomesince the child’s last outcomes summary?

Conversion #2: OSEP Progress Categories• The OSEP categories describe the types
of progress a child can make between entry and exit.
• Two COSF ratings (entry and exit) are needed to determine which OSEP category describes a child’s progress

How COSF Ratings Determine OSEP Category
CategoryCategory RationaleRationale
A: Did not improve functioning
•Rated lower at exit than entry OR•Rated a 1 at both entry and exit•“No” on the B-question
B: Improved functioning but not sufficient to move closer to same age peers
•Rated the same or lower at exit compared to entry•Rated 5 or lower at exit•“Yes” on the B-question

How COSF Ratings Determine OSEP Category
CategoryCategory RationaleRationale
C: Functioning nearer to peers without attaining age-expected functioning
Rated higher at exit than at entry
Exit rating 5 or lower
D: Attain age-expected functioning
Enter: 1-5
Exit: 6 or 7
E: Maintain age-expected functioning
Enter: 6 or 7
Exit: 6 or 7

Conversion #2: OSEP Progress Categories
A. Did not improve functioning.
B. Improvement but not closer to age level.
C. Improvement and closer to age level.
D. Improvement to age level.
E. Maintained functioning at age level.

Conversion #3: Summary Statements
Summary Statement #1. Of those children who entered or exited the program below age expectations in the Outcome Area, the percent who substantially increased their rate of growth.
Percent = ____(c) + (d)_____ X 100
(a) + (b) + (c) + (d)
![Page 19: Child Outcomes Measurement Tools & Process](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052401/568146fb550346895db435b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Summary Statement 2
The percent of children functioning within age expectations in the Outcome Area by the time they exit the program.
Percent = ____(d) + (e)_____ X 100
(a)+(b)+(c)+(d)+(e)
