Congress finds the following: High-quality early intervention and preschool special education services can change a child’s developmental trajectory and improve outcomes for children, families, and communities. Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ( 20 U.S.C. 1431 et seq. ) authorizes a grant program to aid each State in implementing a system of early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. Funding for such part C ( 20 U.S.C. 1431 et seq. ) has eroded significantly in the last three decades, from a high of $3,902 per child in 1999 to $1,324 per child in 2023, adjusted for inflation.
Section 619 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ( 20 U.S.C. 1419 ) authorizes grants to States for preschool programs serving children with disabilities ages three to five. Funding for such section 619 ( 20 U.S.C. 1419 ) has eroded significantly in the last three decades, from a high of $1,883 per child in 1992, to $849 in 2023, adjusted for inflation. Infants, toddlers, and preschool children, and their schools would benefit from additional funding to restore per child amounts under part C and section 619 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ( 20 U.S.C. 1431 et seq. ; 1419) to ensure continued delivery of high quality early intervention and preschool special education services.
