23 FAMILY, INFANT & TODDLER PROGRAM OF VERMONT The Family, Infant and Toddler Program (FITP) is Vermont's Early Intervention Program approved by the U.S. Department of Education to carry out a statewide system of family supports and early intervention services for infants and toddlers with developmental delays and disabilities under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It is a strengths-based, family driven system of cross-agency, multidisciplinary, collaborative intervention services aimed at preparing children to be ready to learn from school, learn from life and move through or mediate their developmental delays and health conditions. Schools are key partners in identifying children for services and in some areas, the provisions of direct early intervention services. Another key partner is the Children with Special Health Needs Program. As a new partner with the Department for Children and Families, Child Development Division, FITP sits with numerous related child development and family support services that may benefit children receiving services through FITP. All families with concerns about their child's development and/or all families about whom community professionals have concerns are eligible for information and outreach services which may include information and referral, and family support and education. Families with children from birth through 2 years 11 months of age, whose children experience developmental delays or have a diagnosed physical or mental condition which has a high probability of resulting in a developmental delay, are eligible for FITP. Eligibility is determined by a multi-disciplinary core team and is based on the developmental needs of the child, not on family income. Services are no cost to families. There are 12 regional host agencies that include community-based programs such as Parent- Child Centers, a hospital, two mental health agencies, Parent-to-Parent of Vermont, and the Winston L. Prouty Center. A number of schools provide services in partnership with FITP. Home Health Agencies, Community Health Centers, Department of Health Offices, Child Care Providers and DCF/FSD are additional access points for services. Each region develops its own network of service providers and partners, has a Regional Team to advise them and serves as the first level of complaint resolution if needed. In most regions teams have been well integrated with Early Childhood Councils, CUPS - Early Childhood and Family Mental Health, Healthy Babies Kids and Families, MCH and other teams. Primary referral sources include: schools, health care providers, Early Head Start programs, mental health providers, child care programs, shelter programs for families who are in need of housing and have very young children and child welfare personnel. The Vermont Interagency Coordinating Council, whose members are appointed by the Governor, advises and assists FITP and the Lead Agencies that support the Program in the ongoing assessment and continuous improvement of early intervention services in Vermont. The Core Team determines eligibility for early intervention services.
