As state leaders plan Texas' budget for the next two years, funding for Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) is at stake. ECI is a critical program for infants and toddlers with disabilities and delays, helping them get on a strong developmental track and be ready for school.
The Senate's draft of the state budget shortchanges the ECI program. They should adopt the more accurate ECI caseload projections included in the House budget and raise the funding level to match that projected caseload. These projections are more aligned with the number of children historically served in the program.
The budget conference committee is meeting now to plan the state's budget for the next two years. Contact members of the committee and ask them to prioritize ECI.
