The Honorable, The Legislature:
The Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) is submitting the attached State Annual Performance Report for the Birth to 3 Program to meet the requirement in s.
51.44 (5)(c) to report on the Department's progress on implementing the Birth to 3 Program. The enclosed report, which covers the federal fiscal year 2006, was submitted to the federal government, to meet federal requirements.
The report highlights the very positive outcomes produced by the Birth to 3 Program. As intended, the vast majority, over 95%, of children are served in their homes or other settings for typically developing children, such as child care centers. Parent satisfaction with the program remains high; in particular, parents report increased capacity to help their children develop and learn and to communicate their children's needs as a result of early intervention services.
In the past year, the state and counties have engaged in a broad array of measures to improve the quality of the program. These efforts will continue to ensure that children with disabilities and their families are well served by Wisconsin's Birth to 3 Program.
Please contact Carol Noddings Eichinger of my staff at 608-267-3270 if you have questions regarding this report.
With warm regards,
kevin r. hayden
Secretary
