The Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services received a $3.3 million formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181). The funding supports Alabama's efforts to implement and maintain a statewide system of early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. As the designated state agency, Alabama DRS coordinates with other state health and education entities through the Alabama Department of Public Health to ensure eligible children access comprehensive and coordinated developmental services to support their growth and potential. The grant funding and inter-agency collaboration aim to identify and treat developmental delays and issues for young children in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
