Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services a $8,515,069 Formula Grant under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families (CFDA 84.181) program. This grant supports the implementation and maintenance of a statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency system to make early intervention services available to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families in Wisconsin. Through this funding, the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services oversees the provision of these vital early intervention services and coordinates with various state, local, and non-profit partners to deliver them to eligible recipients across the state.

The State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services acts as the designated state agency to administer this Formula Grant program. It issues sub-grants to county governments, tribal entities, universities, non-profits, and other local organizations to implement the early intervention services at the community level. Key sub-awardees include Manitowoc County Human Services, County Of Taylor, and County Of Pepin, who leverage the federal funds to provide child welfare, public health, and other related services tailored to the needs of infants, toddlers, and families in their respective jurisdictions.
