The US Department of Education has finalized regulations that pertain to the Early Intervention Program under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which was amended in 2004. Part C is a $436 million program administered by the states that serves infants and toddlers up to age two who are diagnosed with physical or mental disabilities that may result in developmental delays.
As educators know, early identification and treatment of children with disabilities is essential for their later success. These regulations provide over 900 pages of guidance for individuals who work with children under Part C of the IDEA.
For more information please visit the US Department of Education’s website.
The final regulations are available online and will be published in the Federal Registrar: http://www2.ed.gov/policy/speced/reg/idea/part-c/idea-part-c-final-regs.pdf
