Act Now So Babies Don't Lose EI Services Under Proposed NYS Budget

Thank you for Acting So Babies Won't Lose EI Services in NYS

Governor Patterson's recent budget proposal required that parents pay a fee, based on income, to receive Early Intervention services. This would have dramatically reduced the number of children receiving EI services. Thank you for taking action to preserve these vital services for infants and toddlers.

Join the Infancy Policy Leadership Circle

Developed in spring 2008, the Infancy Policy Leadership Circle was formed by the New York Zero-to-Three Network to be the voice for infants and toddlers in New York State's policy and advocacy work. The goal is to help develop and advocate for policies and services that improve the lives of our youngest children and their families. The Infancy Policy Leadership Circle is a cross-disciplinary group that reflects diversity in a variety of ways geographic, cultural, political. It is open to all who have a passion for babies. It is staffed by two ZERO TO THREE Policy Center-appointed Birth-to-Three State Advocates as part of the Creating Connections for Babies Project in conjunction with Winning Beginning New York.

The overarching goal of the Infancy Policy Leadership Circle is to broaden the scope of systems and services that serve young children. To do this we plan to:

  • Build a more cohesive and stronger infancy policy movement in New York State
  • Create an overall policy agenda for infants and toddlers in New York State
  • Develop regional groups to address local issues

New York Zero-to-Three Network Releases Assessment of New York City\'s Successes and Failures in Meeting the Needs of Infants and Toddlers


New York City is falling short in addressing the specific health and emotional needs of infants and toddlers, leaving them vulnerable to a host of physical, social, and educational problems later in life, says a report released today by the New York Zero-to-Three Network. Entitled \"Unequal from the Start: A Check-Up on New York City\'s Infants and Toddlers,\" the report points out that New York City is spending millions of dollars on the treatment of older children for conditions that could have been prevented in the first three years of life.
