Birth to 3 Program: Information for Counties
In Wisconsin, each county runs the Birth to 3 Program in their area. Counties must meet requirements included in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It is a federal law. It governs how states and public agencies provide services to children with disabilities. This includes requirements about:
- Finding families who may qualify
- Evaluation and eligibility
- Related services
The Wisconsin administrative code DHS 90 are rules that state how the federal requirements must be followed in Wisconsin.
