Targets: Description of Stakeholder Input

Stakeholder input was gathered from several sources. Proposed targets were reviewed with Illinois Interagency Council on Early Intervention (IICEI) members as well as Child and Family Connections Managers. The target-setting guide from DaSy was used to support these discussions. Stakeholders commented on the challenge of setting rigorous yet achievable targets given the recent impact of the pandemic but lauded the Bureau's transparency with sharing the data for informed decision-making.
