Illinois State
The Illinois State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) is led by the Illinois Department of Human Services Bureau of Early Intervention and stakeholders. Reports are submitted to the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), which is responsible for the supervision of early intervention programs across the United States.
Illinois approached the SSIP as an opportunity to perform intense and meaningful analysis of its data, infrastructures, community capacities and system of service delivery. The process has helped Illinois create a meaningful State Identified Measurable Result (SIMR) to improve results for our children with disabilities and their families.

This short presentation provides highlights from Phase 1 of the Plan, describes the work completed during Phase 2, and outlines what will be occurring during Phase 3. Also discussed are the identified coherent improvement strategies, stakeholders involved, supports for implementation, and goals of the evaluation plan.
