Category 3

This category includes all children determined to be eligible for Part B and whose parents were offered and consented to have their child remain in Part C under 20 U.S.C. 1432(5)(B)(ii) and 1435(c). This category may only be used by a state whose application for Part C funds includes a policy under which parents of children with disabilities who were eligible under IDEA Section 619 and previously received services under Part C may continue to receive early intervention services under Part C beyond age 3. States that do not have this option under 20 U.S.C. 1432(5)(B)(ii) and 1435(c) may not report children in this category.
