Summary

The bill directs each county board of developmental disabilities to offer early intervention services—occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech‑language pathology, and special instruction—to children who qualify under the state's Part C program. Boards must fund these services, include them in their strategic plans, and submit expense reports, and the state will reimburse at least half of the costs. It also sets duties for service administrators and repeals a related statute.
