Next Steps

The Executive Appropriations Committee has begun to meet to discuss the final budget for the state of Utah for the upcoming fiscal year.  Many of the people working for Baby Watch Early Intervention Programs have been able to meet with Senators and Representatives to share your stories and provide more information regarding the funding request.  Overall, the response has been positive and we have heard more than once that 25 - 50% of the emails they are receiving are from Baby Watch Early Intervention families!  You are all doing a great job to help us get this issue in front of those who need to know!  What amazing families we get to work with!

Please keep up the good work.  Continue to contact legislators with your stories and the request that we receive $2.7 in order to meet the demands of the 49% caseload increases since 2014 and to continue to provide services to eligible children and families.
