DDS will accept input on the amendment beginning April 15 until May 23, 2008. The application is for Early Start, a statewide program for infants and toddlers (birth to three years of age) with disabilities and their families.
Only comments addressing the amendment will be accepted for consideration. Amendments to the application include Section II A (7) on page II-3 where DDS proposes the policy be submitted to OSEP by September 1, 2008, and Section IV A on page IV-1 where DDS indicates that a system of payments will be instituted for Family Cost Participation.
