Infant, toddlers & families (part c)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services $2.587 million on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181), a formula grant supporting early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. The award funds the state's implementation and maintenance of a statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency system to make early intervention services available to children with disabilities aged birth through two, including Indian children and families residing on reservations geographically located in the state. Performance runs through September 30, 2027, with administrative oversight and grant management based in Bismarck, North Dakota. As the state lead agency designated by the Governor, the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for ensuring appropriate services reach all eligible infants and toddlers with disabilities throughout the state. The state must retain records related to grant funds and compliance for three years from submission of the final expenditure report.
