To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The Department of Health Services (DHS) 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 progress within the Program. The enclosed report, which covers federal fiscal year 2010-2011, was also submitted to the federal government per federal requirements.
The report highlights the positive outcomes created by the Birth to 3 Program. As intended, over 95 percent of participating 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 addition, all required federal indicators identified by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) demonstrated compliance between 88 and 100 percent.
In the past year, Birth to 3 has engaged in a broad array of evidenced-based practices, at both the state and local level, to improve the quality of the program. These efforts will continue to ensure that Wisconsin children with disabilities and their families are well-served. DHS also focused on infrastructure development of our data system through the continuation of two data projects to track compliance with federal reporting indicators and to identify priorities and opportunities for improvement. In addition, DHS supported specific training on Indicator 3, Child Outcomes, which measures the progress children are making as a result of early intervention services.
If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Susan Larsen, Program Supervisor, at (608) 267-9184 or by email at

Sincerely,
Dennis G. Smith
Secretary
