- Abstract:
This paper discusses three Federal programs related to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA): (1) Part C, the Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities; (2) Section 619 of Part B, the Preschool Grants Program; and (3) Part D, National Activities to Improve Education of Children with Disabilities. An overview of each of these programs is provided, followed by an outline of major accomplishments to date and a list of selected resources. The paper is intended to orient individuals involved with State Part C, Section 619, State Interagency Coordinating Councils (ICCs), State Special Education Advisory Panels, Steering Committees for Continuous Improvement Monitoring, Early Childhood Projects, State TA and parent programs, their colleagues and constituencies. It may also be useful for staff development of local service personnel, inservice education for state ICCs or state education advisory panel members, and public awareness for target audiences. The paper includes references, data tables, organizational charts, and a list of additional resources. (Author/SG)
