Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Mississippi State Department of Health $4,655,097 on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education—Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181), a formula grant for early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The award obligates $4,655,097 with a period of performance through September 30, 2027, and work is performed statewide across all 82 Mississippi counties. The program requires states to implement coordinated, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, interagency systems making early intervention services available to children with disabilities aged birth through two years and their families, including Indian children and families residing on reservations geographically located in the state. The Mississippi State Department of Health Finance & Accounts Division, the state lead agency, is responsible for ensuring eligible children and families receive appropriate services and maintaining records related to grant compliance for three years from the final expenditure report date.
