Data & Research

The Arkansas IDEA Data & Research Office is part of the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Special Education. We work to gather and meet the federal reporting requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA).

The Arkansas IDEA Data and Research Office strives to provide quality data management, analysis, technical assistance, and research for the enhancement of the Office of Special Education’s general supervision of local education agencies' special education programs by ensuring accurate, valid, and timely data to meet all state and federal reporting.

We strive to promote IDEA research for a greater understanding of policy, procedures, and practices across the state.
