What type of model should be used for gathering information when children are in multiple environments?
A. Scoring of the early childhood outcomes on the Child Outcomes Summary Form (COSF) needs to reflect the functioning of a child across environments. Information about a child’s performance as it relates to the early childhood outcomes can be collected in a variety of ways (i.e. in person, survey, videotape, observations). The final decision on how information will be collected, shared, and incorporated into completing the COSF is a team decision.
