IMPORTANT: This is a repeat of the initial conference call held in the Fall of 2007. If you were on that call, you may listen in but will not be issued an additional three contact hours for participating in this series.
WV Birth to Three is pleased to announce a series of calls for the field on the Child Outcome Summary Tool (COST), “Common Mistakes and Simple Solutions for the Completion of the Child Outcome Summary Tool”. The series will be facilitated by WV Birth to Three State staff and provide information and support to the field in implementing the child outcome measurement system. Time will be allowed at the end of the call for questions and answers.
Through participation on the call individuals should increase their knowledge of:
- The purpose and use of the Child Outcome Summary Tool
- Common mistakes found by the WV Birth to Three State Office in the completion of the COST; and
- Strategies for gathering appropriate information and documentation of the child measurement process.

Participants who call in after roll call has been taken will be able to listen in on the call but will not receive credit for contact hours.
