The Honorable, The Senate:
On behalf of the governor's Birth to 3 Program Interagency Coordinating Council, I am pleased to submit the Birth to 3 Annual Report for 2001. Descriptions of results related to key early intervention outcomes and highlights of the activities of the Department of Health and Family Services Birth to 3 Program in Wisconsin are included in the Annual Report. Also described are the activities of the Birth to 3 Interagency Coordinating Council. Activities of the Department include comprehensive program reviews to assure quality early intervention services and special projects to identify children who will benefit from early intervention as soon as possible.
The Birth to 3 Program Annual Report fulfills the mandate under s.
51.44(5)(c) to annually submit to the Legislature a report on the department's progress toward full implementation of the program, including the progress of counties in implementing goals for participation in 5th year requirements under
20 USC 1476.
The Birth to 3 Program is a truly collaborative effort between counties, parents, local providers, the Interagency Coordinating Council and state agencies. Working together, we are assuring that Wisconsin infants and toddlers who have disabilities and their families have the best possible start.
Sincerely,
Phyllis J. Dube
