Part 1 Data Collection Forms, Definitions, and Where to Submit Your Data

Part 1 Data Collection refers to the numbers of contacts, meetings attended, resources disseminated, website visits, etc. that your Parent Center achieved in the 2023-2024 program year.  It includes the parent/youth count, disability data, and demographic data.

To complete Part 1 of the data collection, use the forms and materials found here: https://www.parentcenterhub.org/2024-data-collection-forms/

Helpful Information:  For trainings and individual assistance contacts, parent centers will have to report on their services to parents of children under transition age, parents of transition-age youth and older, professionals, students under transition age, and youth and young adults of transition age and older.

For the demographic information, parent centers will need to report the number of infants, toddlers, and children under transition age, and youth and young adults of transition age and older served by your Parent Center.

Counting emails/ texts and other electronic modes of service: Count number of contacts using email or other electronic modes (e.g., text messages, Facebook messages, etc.) specifically for one-to-one individual assistance. Do not include mass e-mails that are for disseminating resources or for outreach activities.

On Newsletters Disseminated, make sure to add the total number of parent center periodicals distributed (print or on-line newsletters, magazines, e-newsletters, etc.), the print periodicals mailed or handed out, the number of subscribers or recipients of newsletters sent via e-mail, and the number of page views of newsletters posted on parent center’s website.

Reporting your Parent Center’s activities accurately for the 2023-2024 program year is an important task.
