Infant, toddlers & families (part C)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Colorado Department of Early Childhood $10,291,912 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 early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families.

The award funds Colorado's implementation and maintenance of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, interagency system delivering early intervention services to children with disabilities aged birth through two years, including Indian children and families who reside on reservations geographically located within the state. The Colorado Department of Early Childhood, designated by the Governor as the state lead agency, is responsible for ensuring that appropriate early intervention services are made available to all eligible beneficiaries within Colorado.

Performance runs from July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Glendale, Colorado. The Colorado Department of Early Childhood coordinates and issues sub-grants to state agencies and local organizations to deliver developmental services, conduct screenings, create individualized family service plans, and provide specialized instruction and therapies.
