The WE-TRAC database system, which audiologists use to document information about children tested for hearing loss, is now making referrals to the local Birth to 3 Program through PPS. The Waisman Center has training materials available to county B-3 Programs to support the B-3 Program in understanding how to process these referrals received through PPS from WE-TRAC.

From the Waisman Center site, look under Policies and Forms, WE-TRAC Referral Guidance.
