Performance extends through September 30, 2027, with administrative oversight at Jefferson City, Missouri. The assistance type is a formula grant. As the state lead agency designated by the Governor, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is responsible for ensuring that appropriate early intervention services are made available to all eligible birth-through-two-year-olds with disabilities and their families within the state.
