A reference manual of statewide programs for children under age 6 in Texas, this Guide is designed to help public officials, community groups, professionals who work with children and other interested citizens identify and obtain assistance in meeting the needs of children and families. Information is given on state and public agencies, private organizations and industries which offer services ranging from help for handicapped children, Head Start, day care, and physical and mental health programs to public welfare. In addition, there is a breakdown by county of what programs are offered and how much money is spent in each county.
