Individuals with disabilities education act/ 2026 supplement

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Arizona Department of Economic Security $355,979 on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education-Grants for Infants and Families program (CFDA 84.181), a formula grant supporting statewide systems of early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families.

The award funds Arizona's implementation and maintenance of coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency early intervention services for children with disabilities aged birth through two years, including Indian children and families residing on reservations geographically located in the state. The recipient, Arizona Department of Economic Security, serves as the state lead agency designated by the Governor to administer Part C IDEA funding and coordinate service delivery across Arizona's counties and federally recognized tribes.

Performance runs from July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with work performed in Phoenix, Arizona. The assistance type is a formula grant. As a state administering agency, Arizona Department of Economic Security routinely sub-awards federal funding to regional partners, county governments, and community-based organizations to execute early intervention service delivery.
