Infant, toddlers & families (part c)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Massachusetts Department of Public Health $9.494 million on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181, Part C). The funding supports implementation and maintenance of a statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency system to make available early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The grant period runs from July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Boston, Massachusetts. As the designated state lead agency, MDPH is responsible for ensuring that appropriate early intervention services are made available to all eligible children aged birth through two with disabilities and their families throughout Massachusetts, including Indian children and families residing on reservations geographically located in the state. This is a formula grant under the Grants for Infants and Families program, which distributes allocations to the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Department of the Interior, and Outlying Areas to support statewide early intervention systems.
