Birth to 3 Program: Annual State Application Under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

Federal fiscal year 2024

A Part C Grant Application (PDF) is submitted annually to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) within the U.S. Department of Education in order to receive a federal grant award under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This federal grant helps to fund the Wisconsin Birth to 3 Program. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Bureau of Children's Services, Birth to 3 Program submits the Part C grant application for Wisconsin. We anticipate receiving federal fiscal year 2024 funds on July 1, 2024.

For the 2024 Part C grant application, Wisconsin has revised its Section 427 of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) (PDF) form to describe new initiatives the state has taken to address barriers to ensure equitable access to, and participation in, Part C. The form consists of four questions that outline existing policies and commitments to ensuring equitable access and participation in Part C, barriers that impeded on equitable access, steps to address barriers, and the timeline for addressing identified barriers.
