Program Operations Administrator Checklist for Birth-to-Three

Behind consistent, high-quality services are strong operations: the staffing, funding, policies, and data systems that hold a program together. Use this checklist to review yours. It asks whether you hire and keep staff with expertise in Deaf and hard of hearing early intervention, including ASL skills; provide ongoing professional development and reflective supervision; align budgets with family needs and plan for sustainable funding; keep policies current and compliant with IDEA Part C, the federal law covering early intervention for children from birth to three; and use data to track quality and outcomes. Use it to find strengths and areas to grow.
