Mr. Matthew Gentry 129 Kalumoo Street Kailua, Hawaii 96734 Dear Mr. Gentry:
The Department of Health invites you (or your representative) to be on the Hawaii 3-5 Transition Task Force, which is established by Act 289 of the 2007 State Legislature. This Act provides a mechanism to study the feasibility of continuing early intervention services for children age 3-5 years, and if deemed appropriate, to develop the necessary infrastructure and support services.
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA), Hawaii has the option to continue early intervention services, if chosen by the parent, for children age 3-5 years who are eligible under Part B of IDEA and previously received services under Part C. It is a state option in which the state policy regarding these services should be developed and implemented jointly by the Departments of Health and Education. The Task Force will make recommendations to the legislature regarding this option.
The first Task Force meeting will be held on: Thursday, August 23, 2007, 1:30-3:00 pm
State Office Tower – Leiopapa A Kamehameha Building 235 South Beretania Street, #204, Honolulu
The first meeting will review the goals of the task force, and focus on discussing a family survey.
The survey results will be used to determine families’ needs and interest in continuing 0-3 services. A draft agenda is attached.
Your participation on this Task Force is much appreciated. If you have any questions about the Task Force, please contact Loretta Fuddy, Chief of Family Health Services Division, at 586-4122 or Dr. Patricia Heu, Chief of Children with Special Health Needs Branch, at 733-9070. Please RSVP to Avis Mukawa at 733-9070, fax: 733-9068, e-mail: [email protected] by Monday, August 20, 2007.

The Task Force will make recommendations to the legislature regarding this option.
