Individuals with disabilities education act/ 2026 supplement

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Massachusetts Department of Public Health $314,813 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 Massachusetts's implementation and maintenance of a statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency system delivering early intervention services to children with disabilities aged birth through two, including Indian children and families residing on reservations geographically located in the state. Performance occurs in Boston, Massachusetts through September 30, 2027. As the state lead agency designated by the Governor, MDPH receives the total state allocation and is responsible for ensuring that appropriate early intervention services are made available to all eligible birth-through-two-year-olds with disabilities and their families across the Commonwealth. The state lead agency and its contractors must retain records related to grant funds and compliance for three years from the date of final expenditure report submission and maintain records supporting claims for federal funds accessible for administrative review.
