Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services $2,587,723 on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181) to support early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. Performance runs through September 30, 2027, with work based in Helena, Montana.

The award funds Montana's statewide system of coordinated, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, interagency early intervention services for children with disabilities aged birth through two years and their families, including Indian children and families residing on reservations within the state. The formula grant obligates $2,587,723 to ensure all eligible infants and toddlers receive appropriate services through the designated state lead agency structure. Montana's Business and Financial Services Division, the state administering agency for federal education and human services programs, manages the award and routinely issues sub-awards to local health departments, tribal governments, and community-based organizations to implement Part C services at the community level across Montana.
