| The 11 children in other settings includes 7 in hospital, 1 at an audiology suite, 1 at a safe home, 1 at a child protective services office (DCF) and 1 receiving service coordination only | |||||||||
| via the internet. All IFSPs for children receiving any service in a setting other than home or community have justifications on file with the lead agency. | |||||||||
| Connecticut estimated the race/ethnicity for 67 children who had an unknown race/ethnicity or multiple race/ethnicities. | |||||||||
| As requested in an email on January 21, 2010 at 12:28 PM from Newton Piper, Connecticut had already prepared the Part C | |||||||||
| 2009 Child Count and Settings data based on instructions and forms available prior to OMB approval. | |||||||||
| The state's data may depart from the instructions provided in the 2009 Table 1 and Table 2 because children who were exited from | |||||||||
| Part C based on "Attempts to Contact Unsuccessful" (Table 3, row 10) are not counted as having an active IFSP on Dec. 1, 2009. | |||||||||
| The rationale for this possible departure is that "Attempts to Contact Unsuccessful" was and is a valid exit status on Table 3. | |||||||||
| There are children/families counted as having an active IFSP on Dec. 1, 2009 that EIS Providers are not able to contact. They have not yet been | |||||||||
| exited based on "Attempts to Contact Unsuccessful" because the local EIS providers are still attempting to contact them. Connecticut has | |||||||||
| procedures about steps EIS Providers should follow prior to exiting a child/family based on "Attempts to Contact Unsuccessful". The | |||||||||
| IFSPs for families of children under age the age of 3 who have recently exited can be "reactivated" or the child may be re-evaluated | |||||||||
| once contact has been re-established depending on the individual circumstances for each child and family. | |||||||||
