Early Intervention Programs

 Special education services for infants and toddlers are provided by early intervention programs.  Early intervention services are required by federal law under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). All states must have a program that provides services and family support for infants and toddlers with special needs or developmental delays.  
For this discussion forum, watch the Copy of Education Prezi presentation.  Next, research one early intervention program available in your state.  Describe the following about the state of Texas:

1. Children’s eligibility for services

2. Setting

3. Services available for families

4. Availability of  services for “at risk” infants and toddlers

5. Cost of services (if applicable)

6. You must also include APA-formatted  references for your sources

Assignment must be at least 300 words.
