The Wisconsin DHS Birth to 3 Program follows all federally mandated requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). One of the requirements is to send LEA Notification to the local education agency (LEA) when a child is closely approaching the age of three. The LEA Notification contains limited contact information (child’s name, date of birth, parent contact information) for children who may be potentially eligible for preschool special education services. The WI Birth to 3 Program is proposing a new policy which would allow a family participating in the Birth to 3 Program to “opt out” of this LEA Notification process. Public comments are requested on the proposed policy per federal requirements.
