Infant, toddlers & families (part c)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the South Dakota Department of Education $2,587,723 on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181). The award supports implementation and maintenance of a statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency system to deliver early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities aged birth through two years and their families, including Indian children and families on reservations located within the state. The award period runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Pierre, South Dakota. The recipient distributes federal dollars as pass-through sub-awards to local educational agencies, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and community providers across South Dakota to ensure appropriate early intervention services reach all eligible birth-through-two-year-old children with disabilities and their families. This is a formula grant, with the state allocation determined by application submitted to the Department of Education and approved per EDGAR timelines and requirements.
