Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Department of Health Infants & Toddlers Program in the U.S. Virgin Islands was awarded a $895,530 Formula Grant under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181) by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. This grant, effective from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, supports the implementation of a comprehensive early intervention system for infants and toddlers with disabilities or developmental delays aged birth to three years old in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The grant funds a wide range of critical services, including developmental screenings, assessments, individualized family service plans, specialized instruction, therapies, assistive technology, and family support. These services are delivered through a multidisciplinary and interagency approach to ensure eligible children receive timely and specialized support to enhance their development and minimize potential disability impacts. The grant award demonstrates the federal government's ongoing commitment to supporting early intervention programs that serve infants and toddlers with disabilities in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
