This funding supports New Jersey's implementation of a statewide system of early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families from July 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023.
Through 11 sub-awards, the grant funds service coordination and regional early intervention support across New Jersey's 21 counties. Sub-awardees include health departments, hospitals, and non-profits providing these services.
