To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The Department of Health and Family Services is submitting the Wisconsin Birth to 3 Interagency Coordinating Council (ICC) Annual Report for 2004 to meet the requirements of Chapter 51.44 (5)(c), Wis. Stats. The statute requires that a report be submitted annually to the legislature about the Department's progress in implementing early intervention services in Wisconsin.
The report covers calendar year 2004 and includes information related to the Birth to 3 Program Outcomes that the Department has adopted and evaluates yearly. This report also includes the results of the progress in meeting the ICC recommendations from the 2003 Annual Report and provides subsequent recommendations from the ICC based these results. Department staff is directly involved with the ICC in the creation of this report.
A1168
I believe this report exhibits the very positive outcomes produced by this program. Enrollment in this effective program continues to rise and parent satisfaction remains high. 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.
Copies of the report for each legislator were sent in March. This letter serves as the required submission to meet the statutory requirements.
Sincerely,
Helene Nelson
Secretary
Referred to committee on Children and Families.
