Early Support for Infants and Toddlers:
2016 – 2017 Year-to-Year Reports

Department of Children, Youth, and Families www.dcyf.wa.gov
The Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) is the State Lead Agency for the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part C program for Washington State. Within DCFY, the Part C
programmatic home is the Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) program.
During Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016, the ESIT program held contracts with 25 Local Lead Agencies
(LLAs) statewide in order to ensure that all families have equitable access to a locally coordinated
system of early intervention services. As a result, 16,137 eligible infants, toddlers and their families
received early intervention services during the past year.
Annually, each state must report to the public:
 The number and percentage of children with disabilities, by race, gender, and ethnicity, who are
receiving early intervention services.
 The number and percentage of children with disabilities, by race, gender, and ethnicity, who,
from birth through age 2, stopped receiving early intervention services because of program
completion or for other reasons.
 The number of mediations held and the number of settlement agreements reached through
such mediations.
