title: ECIDS: standardizing the data for Birth to 3 programs.
abstract: There is a compelling need for standardized coding schemes to represent data collected for children receiving services through Milwaukee County early intervention (Birth to 3) programs. We are standardizing Birth to 3 data in our ongoing development of the Early Childhood Integrated Database System. Our efforts balance the need for individualized service plans with the need for aggregate analysis.
