PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Statement of Work for The Educational and Developmental Intervention Services (EDIS) Program

In support of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) 08 March 2024

1. Introduction

Title 20 of U.S. code, Chapter 25A, section 926 requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to implement the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Title 32 of Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), section 57.4 assigns the delivery of early intervention services (EIS) and related services (RS) to the military medical departments. The Educational and Developmental Intervention Services (EDIS)program was established by the DoD to meet these requirements. The DoD Instruction 1342.12 “Provision of Early Intervention and Special Education Services to Eligible DoD Dependents” and DoD Manual 1342.12 “Implementation of Early Intervention and Special Education Services to Eligible DoD Dependents” are the DoD’s implementing instructions of IDEA. Pursuant to IDEA, the EDIS program provides Early Intervention Services (EIS) to infants/toddlers (birth to 36 months) and Related Services (RS) to students receiving special education in Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools overseas. These special education services are available to children and their families in communities supported by Department of Defense (DoD) schools in both domestic and overseas locations.

2. Background

The Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), Force Medical Readiness (N10D), Office of Family Readiness is responsible for the policy and oversight of the Navy EDIS program.
