Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Nebraska Department of Education $3.339 million on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181). The award funds implementation and maintenance of a statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency system to provide early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities, aged birth through two, and their families, including Indian children and families residing on reservations geographically located in Nebraska. Performance occurs in Lincoln, Nebraska, with a period of performance extending through September 30, 2027. The formula grant is classified as assistance funding to a state lead agency designated by the Governor; the Nebraska Department of Education administers the award as the state lead agency and distributes the majority of these federal funds through sub-awards to local educational agencies, school districts, educational service units, nonprofit organizations, universities, and community partners to implement direct early intervention services and support programs at the local level throughout Nebraska.
