<DIV>I looked at the plan. In the last couple of months I have had contact with
my state special ed director, because there are a number of health conditions
that trigger, or are supposed to trigger, referral to IDEA Part C for children 0
to 3 (zerotothree.org is useful website). I suspect that the PAT (Parents as
Teachers) component of the NJ model might have something to do with that but not
sure. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Home visit programs may have a connection with IDEA Part C 0 to 3 services,
and issue came up that when child welfare becomes involved
some components of IDEA may be left by the wayside. I would like to see the
model be more specific--and explicit--regarding those services and risk factors
associated with IDEA Part C eligibility. For one thing, this can mean more
resources available to keep children in the home, it can mean entitlements for
services that might conceivably not fall within "reasonable efforts" within the
child welfare system, and IDEA strongly promotes parent participation in
planning and services as well as services in natural settings (e.g. the home).
In terms of system culture, child welfare and IDEA tend to be very separated,
which can be a shame. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>States vary in terms of whether 0-3 services are overseen by family
services or by educational agencies, but always involve some forms of
formal collaboration with social services and public health as service
providers. </DIV>
