The Wisconsin Council on Children & Families
The Wisconsin Council on Children and Families was established in 1881 as the Wisconsin Conference on Charities and Corrections. For well over a century, the organization has focused on improving conditions for families and children through policy change, expanded public investments and public education that lead to improvements in outcomes and practices in the delivery of publicly funded health care, education, workforce development and social services. Educating Young Children With Disabilities
Each school district in Wisconsin is responsible for providing a continuum of
Special Education and Related Services to Children with Disabilities and who need special education. Children are evaluated to determine if they met the one of the state's eligibility criteria.
Special education and related services may provide consultation to
staff, direct services to the child, training related to the disability,
and other services that are identified in the child's Individualized
Education Program. Click below for more information.

Wisconsin Department of Health Services: Birth-to-Three
Are You the Parent of a Child Under 3?
Children do different things at different ages. Some babies sit without support at six
months while others need help until they're nine months old. Some toddlers start talking
when they're a year old. Others might take longer to say their first words.
If you're worried about the way your baby or toddler is developing, don't wait!
The years from birth to age three are so important. Talk with your child's doctor
about your concerns. You can also use the links below to find contact
information for the Birth to 3 Program in your county. Or call Wisconsin First Step
to find out where you can go for help. Click HERE for more information and link to the 0-3 website.
