Birth to 3 Services

Program
Overview
Birth to 3 is Wisconsin's
early intervention program for infants and toddlers with developmental
delays and disabilities and their families. Eligibility is based on a
diagnosed disability or significant delay in one or more areas of
development.
The earlier a child's development delays are discovered, the more
opportunities there are for a child to increase skills and abilities. The
goal is to help children participate in their communities. If you have a
question or concern about your child's development, you may request an
evaluation free of charge to your family. Our evaluation team will assess
your child's ability to learn, move, communicate, respond to and relate
with others, eat, dress, and care for daily living needs. If the child is
eligible for the program, the service coordinator works with
the family to see that the family and their child receive the services and
supports they need within the family's
natural environment.

Guiding
Principles
-
Children's optimal development depends on their being viewed first as
children and second as children with a problem or disability.
-
Children's greatest resource is their family.
-
Parents are partners in any activity that serves their children.
-
Just as children are best supported within the context of family, the
family is best supported within the context of the community.
-
Professionals are most effective when they can work as a team member
with parents and others.
-
Collaboration is the best way to provide comprehensive services.
-
Early intervention enhances the development of children.
