Early Start Family Survey

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your feedback is important and will help us better understand families’ experiences accessing and participating in the Early Start program.

The information you share will help identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities to improve services and supports for infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities and their families. Your responses will remain confidential, and participation in this survey is voluntary.

We appreciate your time, insight, and partnership in helping improve Early Start services for children and families.
