During the 1999-2000 operating period
- 12.7 percent of the Head Start enrollment consisted
of children with disabilities, (mental retardation, health impairments,
visual handicaps, hearing impairments, emotional disturbance, speech
and language impairments, orthopedic handicaps and learning disabilities).
- 668 programs operated a home-based program. 5,200 home
visitors provided home- based services to over 48,000 children.
- 32 percent of the staff were parents of current or
former Head Start children. Over 800,000 parents volunteered in their
local Head Start program.
- Head Start programs are encouraged to use non-Head
Start resources in their communities for Head Start children and their
families. 59 percent of Head Start children were enrolled in the Medicaid/Early
and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program which
pays for their medical and dental services.
- The 1994 reauthorization of the Head Start Act established
a new Early Head Start program for low-income families with infants
and toddlers. In Fiscal Year 2000, $421,360,000 was used to support
nearly 600 projects to provide Early Head Start child development
and family support services in all 50 states, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico. These projects served 45,100 children under the age
of three.
