INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EDUCATION ACT (IDEA) This directory is funded through the Department of Health and Social Services’ Birth to Three Early Intervention System under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Part C of that federal law, which is administered by the Department of Health and Social Services, provides funding and management to support a statewide, comprehensive, coordinated system of early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and/or developmental delays and their families. Delaware's early intervention services are coordinated through the Child Development Watch program in the Division of Public Health. Child Development Watch is composed of staff from a variety of state agencies that work together to provide multidisciplinary assessments, service coordination, plan development and service delivery to eligible children from birth up to age three and their families. Referrals can be made to Child Development Watch at 1-302-995-8617 for New Castle County and 1-302-424-7300 for Kent and Sussex Counties. More information about Child Development Watch is contained in this directory. As part of IDEA, the Interagency Coordinating Council (ICC) has been appointed by the Governor to assist and advise the Department of Health and Social Services in the development, implementation, and ongoing improvement of the early intervention system. The ICC is composed of parents, state agency personnel, private providers, insurance providers, legislators, and professionals involved in personnel preparation. The following page lists current ICC members. In addition to this directory, the Birth to Three Office also produces Growing Together, a portfolio of information for new Delaware parents. This is distributed through Delaware hospitals to the family of each newborn. The portfolio contains a Health Journal to record information on the child's health and development; a newsletter, Great Beginnings, from the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension; a developmental calendar which follows the child's growth from birth through age five; a list of helpful phone numbers for Delaware parents; and a READ-ALOUD nursery rhyme book to encourage early reading to children. For more information, contact the Birth to Three Office by calling 302-255-9134.

DuPont Highway New Castle, DE 19720 The Birth to Three Early Intervention System is an interagency effort, under the Division of Management Services, Delaware Health and Social Services, which administers Delaware's federal grant under the infants and toddlers section of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This part of the federal law focuses on infants and toddlers from birth to three with disabilities or developmental delays.

ELIGIBILITY: Infants and toddlers birth to 36 months who have a disability and/or developmental delay and their families; early intervention professionals, parents and community agencies and programs DELAWARE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES DIVISION OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES SERVICES Woodbrook Professional Center 1056 South Governors Avenue, Suite 101 Dover, DE 19904 (302) 744- 9600 The Division of Developmental Disabilities Services provides a variety of early intervention, respite, rehabilitative, vocational, residential and support programs to children and adults with mental retardation. Further information is available by contacting the above office. SUMMARY: The Division of Developmental Disabilities Services offers services as part of Child Development Watch to any child, birth to three and their family, who is at extremely high risk for mental retardation as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding approved between Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDDS), Division of Management Services (DMS) and Division of Public Health (DPH). These services, provided by Developmental Nurse Specialists, include service coordination, neuro-developmental assessment, intervention for developmental and/or medical problems and facilitation of the role of parents as primary advocate and teacher for their child. The Developmental Nurse Specialists also serve as consultants to other service coordinators, physicians, and public or private agencies. DDDS offers different types of respite experiences depending on the needs of the individuals and family requesting the service. Respite is a term used to identify a situation in which individuals with mental retardation are given a period of temporary relief or rest. They can experience a social/recreational experience in the community while their family is afforded a period of relief from the daily care responsibilities. The length of the respite is pre-determined according to the family’s need and the availability of resources. Respite mainly takes place in the private home of a DDDS screened and qualified provider. However, a provider may come to the family’s home to care for the individual or the family may choose their own provider. Any infant, child or adult who is formally assessed to have mental retardation and who is a resident of Delaware is eligible for the program. Requests for services may be made through the Intake Coordinator or the regional respite coordinator of DDDS. Under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA), the Division of Developmental Disabilities Services will work with a family who is referring a child for long term care outside the home. DDDS is responsible for determining if the child is eligible for placement, could benefit from specialized services and is nursing home appropriate. DDDS would provide case management that advocates for services for the child’s needs and coordinates the services the child receives. For children under three, the OBRA case manager and the Child Development Watch service coordinator work together to provide services.
