- Data Collection Notes: Data were collected in MEGS through a local self-assessment. Local early intervention programs selected a random representative sample of children. Local early in-tervention programs were required to sample 10% of their snapshot number or a minimum of ten records, whichever is greater. The records were a sample chosen from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.
