F. Description of Optional Use of Part C Funds (For States that Do Not Provide Direct Service for At-Risk Infants and Toddlers)

For any State that does not provide direct services for at-risk infants and toddlers under 20 U.S.C. 1437(a)(4), but chooses to use funds under 20 U.S.C. 1438(5), each Application must include a description of how these funds will be used. Specifically, a State may use Part C funds for initiating, expanding, or improving collaborative efforts related to at-risk infants and toddlers, including establishing linkages with appropriate public or private community-based organizations, services, or personnel for the purpose of:

• Identifying and evaluating at-risk infants and toddlers;
• Making referrals of at-risk infants and toddlers who are identified and evaluated; and
• Conducting periodic follow-up on at-risk infants and toddlers to determine if the status of the infant or toddler's eligibility for Part C services has changed.

Provide a subtotal of the amount. (Add columns and rows as needed.)
