Wrap-Up

To bring closure to this session, take time to reflect on key ideas and respond to the Challenge Question posed during Set-Up. Download the Reflection Journal located in the callout box to the right and take a moment to jot notes to yourself on key features of the Child Outcomes Summary (COS) process.

In your reflection, answer these questions:

• What information are you currently collecting about children's functioning related to each of the child outcome areas?
• Do your current methods and measures give you enough information about:
  • The child’s functioning across settings and situations?
  • The child’s functional use of skills?
  • Perspectives from multiple sources?
• What additional information would be helpful to have a more complete picture? What might need to be added or changed to ensure that this information is routinely collected?

Now that you have taken some time to reflect on the session content, take a moment to answer the Challenge Question for yourself.
