SoonerStart State Systemic Improvement Plan
The U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Program requires all IDEA Part C programs to develop and implement a State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) as part of their State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR). The SSIP is a multi-year plan designed to improve developmental outcomes for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families.
Oklahoma is committed to developing and implementing our SSIP with sustainable policies and practices at the state and local levels to impact child outcomes positively.
