Division on Autism and Developmental Disabilities' response to Secretary Kennedy's remarks:
U.S. Department of Education cancels grant competition supporting personnel preparation for children with disabilities:
"On October 8, 2024, the Department of Education (Department) published in the Federal Register a notice inviting applications (NIA) for fiscal year (FY) 2025 for the Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities--Preparation of Early Intervention and Special Education Personnel Serving Children with Disabilities who have High-Intensity Needs (84.325K). The Department will not fund applications received under this competition. This change ensures that all priorities and requirements for the Department’s FY 2025 grant competitions align with the objectives established by the Trump Administration while fostering consistency across all grant programs. Additionally, the Department is dedicated to optimizing the impact of our grant competitions for students and families, as well as enhancing the economic effectiveness of federal education funding."
