It would probably be a good idea. As far as what you are looking for, click here http://www.ed.gov/programs/osepeip/index.html This takes you to the early intervention page. Then click on contacts http://www.ed.gov/programs/osepeip/contacts.html , and you will come up with information to contact Ruth Ryder. If she cannot send you the figures she will be able to tell you who to contact for the numbers.

Do you know if there is an update on this information? I am especially interested in any Part C monies. Our early intervention application has changed dramatically due to many issues, but the bottom line is that the burden of cost is being thrown at the families. We are in the middle of application comments and I would love to know if my state continues to leave money on the table. My thanks, Sharon Dufrene
