"The Early Intervention program assists families who have infants
and toddlers, birth to 3, with diagnosed disabilities, developmental
delays or substantial risk of significant delays," said IDHS
Secretary Carol L. Adams, Ph.D. "More than 16,300 children and their
families receive resources and supports that assist them in
maximizing their child's development, while respecting the diversity
of families and communities."
The plan has been posted at
www.dhs.state.il.us/ei
for public input. The plan is also available at each of the 25 Child
and Family Connections offices, located throughout the state.
