Public Law 99-457, enacted in 1976, mandated that individual states provide services to which group?

Early intervention for babies and toddlers with disabilities and support for their families. Public Law 99-457 added Part H to the education act, expanding services to children from birth through age 3 and providing a family-centered framework. States were required to offer coordinated services for these young children and their families, often arranged through an Individualized Family Service Plan that families help develop. Services are designed to be delivered in natural environments (homes, community settings) to support development and family needs, not just in schools. That’s why the correct idea is supporting families of children with disabilities from birth. It isn’t limited to urban districts, isn’t worldwide, and isn’t restricted to private schools.
