Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services received a $6.55 million Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181). The award, effective July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, supports the implementation and maintenance of a statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary early intervention system serving infants and toddlers with disabilities (ages birth to three years) and their families across Utah's 29 counties.

Under this federal assistance award, UDHHS delivers core early intervention services including developmental screenings, assessments, individualized family service plans, specialized instruction, therapies, assistive technology, and family support services. The agency administers these services through a network of sub-awards to local health departments, school districts, universities, and community-based organizations, ensuring coordinated service delivery and access to comprehensive developmental support aimed at enhancing child development and minimizing potential disability impacts throughout the state.
