The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded a $2,587,723.00 formula grant to the Maine Department of Education on July 1, 2024 under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181). This program provides federal funding to states to establish and maintain comprehensive early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities aged birth to three years. The grant will enable the Maine Department of Education to deliver a range of services through the statewide early intervention system, including developmental screenings, assessments, individualized family service plans, specialized instruction, therapies, assistive technology, and family support services. The state education agency may sub-award portions of the funding to local entities such as education agencies, health departments, universities, and non-profit organizations to provide these critical developmental support services at the community level.
