An estimated 2.5% (5,958) of children under the age of three in the state of Washington have delaying or disabling conditions. Infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families are eligible to receive an array of public early intervention services although all may not seek enrollment in state programs. State agencies, families, and local communities share a common vision for developing a system of coordinated, comprehensive, family-centered and culturally relevant early intervention services for these children with developmental disabilities and their families. This report presents information on infants and toddlers, birth to three, with disabilities enrolled as of May 1, 1995 in Washington State public services provided by child development programs, neurodevelopmental centers, schools, local health jurisdictions and Family Resources Coordinators (FRCs). A child was defined as enrolled if the child 1) was determined to be eligible for services and/or 2) had an individualized service plan.
