FL Stat § 411.22 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XXX - Social Welfare|Chapter 411 - Handicap or High-Risk Condition Prevention and Early Childhood Assistance|Part II - Prevention and Early Assistance (Ss. 411.22-411.228)|411.22 - Legislative intent.

411.22 Legislative intent.—The Legislature finds and declares that 50 percent of handicapping conditions in young children can be prevented, and such conditions which are not prevented can be minimized by focusing prevention efforts on high-risk pregnant women and on high-risk and handicapped preschool children and their families. The Legislature further finds that by preventing handicaps in preschool children, infant mortality and child abuse can be reduced and this state can reap substantial savings in both human potential and state funds. The Legislature finds that infant mortality, handicapping conditions in young children, and other health problems for infants and mothers are associated with teenage pregnancy and that the prevention of sexual activity and unwanted teenage pregnancy can reduce the number of at-risk children, while increasing human potential and reducing the cost of health care. The Legislature further finds that a continuum of integrated services is needed to identify, diagnose, and treat high-risk conditions in pregnant women and in preschool children. The Legislature finds that intraagency and interagency coordination can enhance the framework of a continuum that is already in existence and that coordination of public sector and private sector prevention services can reduce infant mortality and handicapping conditions in preschool children and minimize the effects of handicapping conditions. It is the intent of the Legislature, therefore, that a continuum of efficient and cost-effective prevention and early assistance services be identified, that a plan for intraagency and interagency coordination be developed for the purpose of implementing such a continuum, and that the continuum of services be implemented as resources are made available for such implementation.History.—s. 2, ch. 89-379; s. 8, ch. 90-358.

Indicators of system improvements must be developed to address quality of programs and integration of services. Agency monitoring of programs shall include a review of child and family outcomes and system effectiveness indicators with a specific focus on elimination of unnecessary duplication of planning, screening, and services.(3) The steering committee, in conjunction with the demonstration projects, shall develop a model county-level strategic plan to formalize the goals, objectives, strategies, and intended outcomes of the comprehensive system, and to support the integration and efficient delivery of all services and supports for parents of children from birth through age 9 who have learning problems or learning disabilities. The model county-level strategic plan must include, but need not be limited to, strategies to:(a) Establish a system whereby parents can access information about learning problems in young children and receive services at their discretion;(b) Improve early identification of those who are at risk for learning problems and learning disabilities;(c) Provide access to an appropriate array of services within the child’s natural environment or regular classroom setting or specialized training in other settings;(d) Improve and coordinate screening for children from birth through age 9;(e) Improve and coordinate services for children from birth through age 9;(f) Address training of professionals in effectively identifying factors, across all domains, which place children from birth through age 9 at risk of school failure and in appropriate interventions for the learning differences;(g) Provide appropriate support to families;(h) Share best practices with caregivers and referral sources;(i) Address resource needs of the assessment and intervention system; and(j) Address development of implementation plans to establish protocols for requiring and receiving parental consent for services; to identify action steps, responsible parties, and implementation schedules; and to ensure appropriate alignment with agency strategic plans.History.—s. 7, ch. 2002-265; s. 105, ch. 2020-2.
