Infant, toddlers & families (part c)

The federal Formula Grant award of $11,533,567 was provided by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181). The grant supports the establishment and maintenance of a comprehensive early intervention system for infants and toddlers with disabilities aged birth to three years in the state of Washington. Key services funded through this award include developmental screenings, assessments, individualized family service plans, specialized instruction, therapies, assistive technology, and family support services. The grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 with a performance period through September 30, 2025.

The Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), the primary recipient of the grant, sub-awarded portions of the funding to local government entities such as the County of Snohomish, King County Department of Community and Human Services, and Spokane Regional Health District. These sub-recipients are responsible for ensuring the local delivery of Part C early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families within their respective communities.
