Minnesota Early Intervention (IDEA Part C)

Based in Minnesota -- Covers: MN

Minnesota's early intervention program under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act -- the route to a free developmental evaluation for a child under 3, and to services if the child qualifies. Run by Department of Children, Youth, and Families -- Minnesota Department of Education. Federal law entitles you to request an evaluation at no cost to you, and you do not need a doctor's referral or a diagnosis to ask: any parent can refer their own child. Eligibility criteria and what services look like are set state by state, so contact the program for your state's specifics. Part C covers birth to 3; at 3 a child moves to Part B and the school district's responsibility.
