Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded $7.952 million to the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181).

The award funds statewide early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities aged birth through two years and their families. Services include developmental assessments, specialized instruction, therapies, and family support delivered through a coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency system. Performance runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Columbia, South Carolina.

The Grants for Infants and Families program distributes formula grants to states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Department of the Interior, and Outlying Areas to implement systems ensuring eligible children with disabilities and their families receive appropriate early intervention services, including Indian children and families residing on reservations geographically located in the state.
