The Mississippi State Department of Health received a $4,285,168 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181). The grant period runs from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
The funding supports Mississippi's implementation and maintenance of a statewide, comprehensive early intervention system for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. Specifically, the grant provides for services such as developmental screenings and assessments, service coordination, special instruction, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and assistive technology devices and services. The goal is to help eligible children from birth to age three learn basic and new skills and, when appropriate, receive services in natural environments such as the home or childcare setting.
