Eligibility is based on a diagnosed disability or significant delay in one or more areas of development. A Birth to 3 service coordinator helps the family understand and participate in the evaluation process. Services and supports a child and family receive are based on individual needs. The service coordinator and other early intervention staff meet with the family to discuss the child's developmental strengths and needs. This team, including the parents, determines what services and supports would enhance the child's development and prepares a plan to provide supports and services within the family's typical routines and activities.
Program is available in every county in Wisconsin.
Each county has designated an agency that is responsible for the operation of the program in that county. The program may be called by a different name, but it is available to provide services to children with delays or disabilities.

The Birth to 3 Program is committed to children under the age of three with developmental delays and disabilities and their families. We value the family's primary relationship with their child and work in partnership with the family.
