A 1019 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits children age three through five to receive early intervention services under certain circumstances.

This bill allows children aged three through five with developmental delays or disabilities to continue receiving early intervention services without interruption. Currently, services typically end at age three as children transition to preschool special education; this bill extends eligibility until age six or when a child enters kindergarten, whichever occurs first. It requires the Department of Health to comply with federal IDEA Part C regulations, including obtaining parental consent for continued services. The change aims to minimize disruption in care during the transition period while maintaining federal compliance.
