Infant & toddlers/families (part c)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded a $5.75 million Formula Grant to the Utah Department of Health under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families (CFDA 84.181) federal grant program. The grant provides funding from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022 to support Utah's implementation of a statewide system to deliver early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families, as intended under the federal grant program.

Through 10 sub-awards ranging from $50k to $1.5 million, the Utah Department of Health will support several local educational agencies and nonprofit organizations to deliver early intervention direct services to eligible children across Utah. Sub-awardees include organizations such as Kids Who Count Inc., Kids On Move Inc., Jordan School District, Davis School District, and United Way of Central and Southern Utah, among others. Collectively, the sub-awardees will utilize the funding to expand access to early childhood developmental screening and specialized instruction to help infants and toddlers with potential delays access critical early support services across Utah's geographically diverse regions.
