Infant, toddlers & families (part c)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Department of Education Iowa $5.004 million on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181).

The award funds Iowa's statewide system of coordinated, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, interagency early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities aged birth through two and their families. The program requires the state lead agency to ensure that appropriate early intervention services are made available to all eligible children with disabilities and their families residing in the state, including Indian children and families on reservations geographically located in Iowa.

Performance runs from July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Des Moines, Iowa. This is a formula grant, the funding mechanism through which the Department of Education allocates Part C resources to eligible states based on state allocation formulas and program eligibility.
