Illinois Birth through Three Waiver: Child and Family Intervention, Developmentally Informed Child and Family interventions

This final evaluation report presents findings from the Illinois Birth through Three (IB3) Title IV-E waiver demonstration. The waiver supported the adaptation of evidence-supported, trauma informed parenting programs to the care and permanency planning for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who were taken into the legal custody of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The purpose of the IB3 waiver demonstration project was to support the adaptation of trauma informed parenting programs and test their effectiveness on facilitating timely family reunification or alternative permanency options when reunification cannot be attained.
