Project Description:

The purpose of the Act Early Wisconsin COVID-19 Recovery and Resilience Initiative is to identify and respond to current barriers and opportunities related to improving early identification of developmental delay and disability in each of four steps across early childhood systems: developmental and autism monitoring, screening, referral and evaluation, and access to early intervention. Based on findings of a needs assessment conducted in collaboration with key stakeholders from the Act Early State Team, a plan will be developed, implemented, and evaluated to respond to barriers and opportunities. To better support child and family resiliency during COVID-19 response and mitigation efforts, the initiative will also identify existing, relevant tools, materials, and programs to improve resiliency, and implement and evaluate integration of these resources into early childhood programs.
