Children and youth (ages 3-21) receive special education and related services under IDEA – Part B. Infants and toddlers with disabilities (birth-2) and their families receive early intervention services under IDEA – Part C. VDOE oversees programs under IDEA – Part B. The Virginia Department of Social Services has oversight responsibility for IDEA – Part C programs.
