Federal regulations have set forth specific performance standards for the provision of services for children with disabilities in Head Start programs. These regulations provide state and local education agencies and Head Start grantees with unique opportunities to collaborate to provide comprehensive, family-centered, and appropriate services to young children with disabilities and their families. This manual was developed to assist state and local communities in adopting policies for providing collaboration between Head Start and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B programs for young children and their families. The manual contains a four-page "Fact Sheet" highlighting major provisions of the new regulations and a two-page "Questions and Answers" section, which can both be used as training handouts. It offers a set of over 20 training transparency masters. The Head Start regulations and IDEA Part B regulations are then compared side-by-side. Head Start performance standards related to regulations for children with disabilities are presented, with guidance for Head Start grantees and delegate agencies. The manual concludes with a list of regional Head Start offices, resource access projects, state directors of special education, and other organizational resources. (JDD)
