Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded $4.653 million to the Kansas Department of Health & Environment on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181), a formula grant supporting statewide systems of coordinated, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, interagency early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities aged birth through two years and their families, including Indian children and families residing on reservations geographically located in the state. The award obligates $4.653 million through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Topeka, Kansas. The Kansas Department of Health & Environment, Division of Management and Budget, serves as the state lead agency designated by the Governor and implements the statewide early intervention delivery system. The program requires the state to ensure that appropriate early intervention services are made available to all eligible birth-through-two-year-olds with disabilities and their families within Kansas. State lead agencies must retain records related to grant funds and compliance for three years from submission of the final expenditure report.
