Birth to Three
Program
http://www.dhfs.state.wi.us/bdds/birthto3/
Birth to 3 is Wisconsin’s early intervention program for infants and
toddlers with developmental delays and disabilities and their
families. A federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA), provides a framework for a comprehensive program and
coordinates developmental, health and social services within the
community.
The earlier a
child’s developmental 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.
In addition to the skills the child develops, Birth to 3 Programs
are committed to providing services in a way that makes sense for
each family. This "family centered" program recognizes the
importance of parents, family and friends in a young child’s life.
The early intervention team will provide ideas and techniques to
help a family enhance their child’s development and learning
potential.
