Governor Lamont signs executive order ensuring children who age out of Birth-to-Three can receive services through the fall

The Governor signed an executive order Tuesday evening related to the declarations of public health and civil preparedness emergencies that he enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Executive Order No. 12C enacts the following provisions:

• Modification of thirty-six month age limit for Birth-to-Three services: To mitigate learning loss exacerbated by pandemic-related isolation, ensures that children who age out of the Birth-to-Three program can continue to receive services until they start school in the fall when they become eligible to receive services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
