IDEA Part C funds which type of services?

• A. School-Based services for ages 3-21
• B. Adult rehabilitation services
• C. Early Intervention services for children under 3
• D. Community mental health services

Answer: (C)

IDEA Part C is about supporting infants and toddlers with disabilities or who are at risk for developmental delays. It funds early intervention services for children under 3, with a focus on helping the child develop and thrive in everyday activities by working with the family in natural environments like home or daycare. Services are coordinated through a multidisciplinary team and guided by an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), which centers the family's routines and priorities. This contrasts with school-based services for ages 3 through 21, which are funded under IDEA Part B, and with services for adults or general community mental health, which are funded through different systems.
