Title slide in Module 14 slideshowSeptember 2014
A legacy training module from NICHCY

 

Funding the early intervention services that eligible infants and toddlers with disabilities (and their families) receive is a challenging affair for the federal government, State systems, and local systems. The federal appropriations for Part C for the year 2013 are in the order of $419.7 million! 

So, big surprise: It’s very important for State lead agencies to be fiscally responsible, have detailed written guidelines and policies regarding use of funds under Part C, disclose those policies to families, and work closely with other agencies and entities to provide and fund the range of services needed by babies, toddlers, and families involved in Part C.

This module takes a detailed look at what the Part C regulations require in terms of how Part C funds may be used. Module 14 includes:

  • 1 slideshow presentation;
  • a trainer’s guide explaining all the content;
  • a Speaker Notes version of the slideshow; and
  • 1 handout and 3 activity sheets for participants.

Please help yourself! Download the components you need to learn on your own and/or to train others on States’ systems of payment and the use of public and private insurance in Part C.

The trainer’s guide is available in two formats, for your convenience:

Speaker Notes | We know from experience that many trainers find it helpful to have a Speaker Notes version of the slideshow. The Speaker Notes version shows each slide picture on the left and provides blank lines on the right (for taking notes). Use the Speaker Notes version for your own planning (it’s in Word, so you can add your own notes where the blank lines are) or share it with participants for their own taking of notes.
