WIC Thank You of the Week: "In late July I came to your office after picking up my foster daughter from the hospital. It was late and even though your office was open, you were no longer accepting appointments. With only the clothes she had on and no milk, I was
desperate. You saw my despair and made the exception so that I could get on the program and get milk that night. For that I am truly grateful and I thank you. You
turned what could have been a moment of misery into a moment of magic! Many thanks for all that you do!” -- WIC Participant
Participant Centered Services: Try using the following language when working with the parents of children this week:
How do you feel about (child’s name) eating? Are you proud of what she/he eats or do you wish some foods would change.
Customer Service Tip: How to say "no" or explain policy to a participant in a customer service oriented way: Use the broken record technique and repeat what you have already said.

Policies from the WIC State Program Services Manual: Policy 110.10 Needs Assessment - Special Population Groups
Several vulnerable population groups reside in Iowa. Provision of WIC services to
these populations is facilitated by: Coordinated efforts through integrated services, and Using interpreters.
The Native American population is a relatively small part of the general population of
Iowa. WIC services are coordinated with other health services as follows:
Mid-Iowa Community Action participates in a child health clinic at the
Tama Indian Settlement. The Tama settlement is also part of the NorthernPlains Healthy Start Project.
Siouxland District Health Department cooperates with the Four DirectionsCommunity Center in Sioux City, Iowa.
The migrant population in Iowa is small, but faces language barriers in accessing WIC and health services. WIC services are coordinated with Proteus, an agency that provides health services to the migrant population in Iowa. Proteus has staff
available to assist with translation services and arrangements for special clinics during migrant season.
Johnson County WIC provides services from 6:30 pm – 9 pm in July and August at
the local migrant camps.
Immigration continues to be a factor in Iowa with the majority of current
immigrants coming from Burma, Sudan, Liberia or Spanish speaking countries. These individuals also face language barriers in accessing WIC and health services. WIC contractors continue to work with interpreters and language line services to
provide clinic services. The state WIC office has also placed a priority on producing print and audiovisual materials in both English and Spanish. Training opportunities about culturally-competent service delivery are periodically offered
through state conferences and in the ongoing series of nutrition workshops. Most recently Burmese, Sudanese, and Liberian fact sheets have been developed and are
distributed to staff at the annual Maternal Nutrition Workshop.

Focus Report Article: Maternal Characteristics
This report shows the rate of breastfeeding prevalence by maternal and infant characteristics including age, education, work/school, breastfeeding experience, race/ethnicity, and low birth weight infant. The data is gathered from all the
interviews that were conducted during the 12 months prior to the report end date parameter. IF an infant/child was not interviewed during this period, the infant/child
is not counted. In order to be calculated in the numerator, the child must have reached the age of the column title by the time of the interview. This report can be found under Clinic Services Reports and then Breastfeeding Reports.

Getting 5 year old WIC children ready for Kindergarten webinar on October 4th at 3:00 pm ET, sponsored by NWA’s Local Agency Section. WIC is an ideal place to engage young parents to optimize the development and school readiness of young children. It is clear from current research that significant differences exist in children’s exposure to language-rich environments. Children born into poverty hear 30 million fewer words before they reach kindergarten than those who come from middle and higher income families. Because of this gap, children born into poorer families tend to test lower on school readiness scores than their higher income counterparts. This disparity develops before kids are even five years old and the gap continues throughout life. By pairing school readiness messages with WIC services from pregnancy through early childhood, children can graduate from WIC at age 5 ready for Kindergarten. This webinar will discuss the Little by Little Program, and the impact it is making on our WICchildren!
New Research Unveils What WIC Infant and Young Children are eating: 2016 Feeding Infants and Toddler Study (FITS) webinar on November 13th, at 3:00 pm ET. Some noteworthy success has been achieved in dietary patterns since 2008; however, additional progress is needed to ensure infants and young children are receiving optimal nutrition for growth and development. This new FITS data offers unique evidence on the

impact of the revised WIC food packages and is particularly relevant for the WIC Staff who are on the front line engaging and inspiring families to make healthy eating choices.
WIC Nutrition Assessment Practices webinar on December 11th at 3:00pm ET. Nutrition Assessment in WIC is a delicate balancing act of sometimes competing priorities. Staff are often instructed to be thorough but build rapport, collect accurate data but use conversational assessment, provide education but only after a complete assessment and identify all applicable risk factors but don't overwhelm the participant with nutrition education. It can get complicated! Join this webinar for an interactive opportunity to explore pitfalls and best practices in WIC Nutrition Assessment Practices.
