IDEA Part B and Part C Funding

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) allocates federal funds to support special education services for children with disabilities. Part B funding is for school-aged children, ages 3 to 21, providing resources to ensure they receive appropriate education tailored to their needs. Part C funding targets infants and toddlers, from birth to age 3, promoting early intervention services to help them develop essential skills. Both parts aim to enhance educational opportunities and support inclusive environments, ensuring that children with disabilities can thrive alongside their peers.
