Section I—Contacts, Part B

Section II—Unduplicated Parent Count

Section II—Unduplicated Parent Count

10 Unduplicated count of parents

Count only the actual number of individual parents served

during the reporting period. The same parent may have

participated in a number of workshops and received

individual assistance multiple times; but for this data point,

count each parent only one time.

Example: If Jane Smith attended 5 trainings, called the center

10 times, and was supported in 1 IEP meeting and 1

mediation, she would only be counted as one (1) parent

served.
