A 4311 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires eligible children from birth to five to receive early intervention services.

This bill expands New Jersey's early intervention services program to cover children with developmental delays or disabilities from birth through age five, rather than the current cutoff at age two. It directly affects eligible children aged three to five who require support in areas like communication, social skills, or adaptive development. The bill requires the Department of Health to seek federal funding through Part H of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to finance this expanded service coverage. This change modifies existing law to ensure continuity of support for young children as they transition toward school-aged services.
