The Success By 6 Birthday Celebration
On May 19, 2011, over 300 friends of United Way came together to celebrate the many accomplishments of Success By 6 since its formation six years ago. Success By 6 was born out of a community-wide needs assessment, known as COMPASS, that identified education disparity as a critical issue in our region.

Success By 6 is United Way’s initiative to ensure that children enter school developmentally on track in terms of health, literacy, social, emotional and intellectual skills regardless of race or socioeconomic status. It is a key element of United Way’s Education work, and one of the primary ways United Way is working to address the achievement gap.

Elisabeth Teller, Director of SARAH, Inc. KIDSTEPS Children’s Services, serves on the Success By 6 Advisory Council. Birth to Three Early Intervention

Birth to Three is a State of Connecticut approved early intervention program providing services for children under three years of age whose evaluation demonstrates a significant delay in development or a diagnosed medical condition such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy or autism.

Birth to Three sessions are parent-driven and provided by specially trained therapists and teachers. Services take place at home or within the community and may include: family training and counseling; physical, occupational and speech therapy; transition to pre-school; and community resource referral and information.

To request Birth to Three early intervention services, you can contact info-line (211) and ask for KIDSTEPS or 246 Goose Lane, Suite 101, Guilford, CT 06437. 203-453-7592 or 877-543-7837(toll-free) or follow the link: (http://referral.birth23.org/guestbook/ReferralForm.htm) to e-mail your request directly to info-line.
