Self-Assessment Form (Adobe Acrobat Format) or click Here to complete the survey online. The purpose of this report is to assist communities in assessing and expanding their community collaborations and preschool settings for young children with disabilities. (This report will provide data for the IDEA State Improvement Grant, Early Childhood Vital Sign #2 Non-SIG Collaborations and Vital Sign #5 Expanded Access.) Each mini-grant completes this self-assessment initially as a pre-assessment and then annually at the end of each grant year. Other mini-grant progress is reported through the mid-year update, end of the year report, parent surveys, and/or training summaries. All reports are submitted to the CESA 2 or CESA 4 grant coordinators.
