Two young children, a baby and a toddler.

Early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities (birth-3) have been a part of IDEA since 1986. This section of the law is commonly known as Part C of IDEA.

New proposed regulations for Part C were issued May 9, 2007 by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services at the U.S. Department of Education. These regulations, when issued in their final form, will reflect the changes resulting from IDEA 2004 and provide guidance to States on how Part C is to be implemented.

You can access and read the proposed Part C regulations at:
