IGDI Reports

There are a variety of reports available for users of the IGDI Data System. Click on the links to learn more and view a sample report.

  • Individual Child Report: Entering a child’s communication events into the Child Data System allows you to track that child’s communication growth relative to normative growth trajectories using this report.
  • Full Program Report: Program Directors can track the overall communication growth of all the children in their program using this report. It also identifies specific children who are falling at least 1 standard deviation below norms, providing information about their IFSP, interventions, and whether or not they are receiving more frequent ECI assessments for progress monitoring.
    Program reports can also be customized for occasions when you only want a report of a specific subset of you children (e.g., only male children, two years old, in Spanish-speaking homes with IFSPs).
  • Full Project Report: This report has the same characteristics of the Program Report, except that it includes children across all programs within a single project.

All reports are dynamically generated, meaning that they always contain the most recently updated data. Details about these reports, including sample reports, are provided below. All sample reports open in a new window.

Individual Child Progress Reports and Graphs

  • Child information (e.g., name, birth date, program, etc.)
  • Raw ECI data including date entered and age of child during assessment
  • Reliability data
  • Date of last assessment
  • Graphs that provide:
    • Visual comparison between individual child and normative growth trajectories for
      • Gestures
      • Vocalizations
      • Single-word Communications
      • Multiple-word Communications
      • Weighted Total Early Communication Rate
    • Slope of child’s proficiency on the ECI
      • If an intervention is used, slope is given before and after intervention
    • List of all interventions used
