The first three years are the most important building blocks of your child's future. Every family wants their children to grow to their fullest potential, especially during this formative time. Some children who have developmental delays or disabilities need extra support. One way this support is provided is through early intervention. The Wisconsin early intervention program is known as Birth to Three.

Birth to Three staff, trained in assessing the developmental strengths and needs of very young children, determine if a child is eligible for the program. Once a child is enrolled, staff and families work in partnership to determine which services will best support their child's ability to grow, learn, and communicate.

What will it cost?
Family income does not determine eligibility for Birth to Three. Developmental screening, evaluation, and service coordination are provided at no cost. Families who are able may be asked to share in a small portion of the cost of services.
