This analysis of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act focuses on Minnesota's participation in Part H, which creates a discretionary program to assist states in planning, implementing, and developing a statewide system of comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency programs for young (birth to age 3) children and their families. As Minnesota is currently participating in the fourth year of the Part H program, the first section of this monograph briefly explains what happens if Minnesota participates in year 5 of the Part H program. Some legislative concerns are raised about year 5, which will involve creation of an entitlement program for all eligible children and their families. The second section describes Part H program components, including requirements, the needed services, and how they are provided. These include evaluation and assessment, the Individual Family Service Plan, criteria for early intervention services, components of an early intervention system, and interagency coordination. The third section raises some questions about Part H participation. These address the areas of choosing a case manager, defining developmental delay for eligibility purposes, determining eligibility, funding entitlement costs, requiring interagency agreements, imposing stringent personnel standards, and establishing procedural safeguards.
