NECTAC List of Part C Lead Agencies
 
Abstract

As a means to building collaborative relationships with state Part C providers, the list identifies the lead agency for Part C services in each state and territory. Disabilities coordinators, Technical Assistance Providers, parents of children with disabilities, and Early Head Start partners will be able to determine which agency to contact regarding infant and toddlers with disabilities. This list also demonstrates the variation between states in designation of Part C responsibilities.

The following section is provided courtesy of the National Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center (NECTAC).
