Which IDEA part covers infants and toddlers from birth through age 2?

• A. IDEA Part A
• B. IDEA Part B
• C. IDEA Part C
• D. IDEA Part D

Answer: (C)

The main idea is early intervention for very young children. IDEA Part C is specifically designed to serve infants and toddlers from birth through age 2, providing early intervention services to support development and families, usually through an Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) and coordinated by a service coordinator in natural environments like home or childcare settings. In contrast, Part B covers school-age children and some preschoolers ages 3–21 and uses Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Part A contains general provisions and definitions, and Part D relates to national activities and research rather than direct services. So the part for birth through age 2 is Part C.
