• B. Part B
• C. Part C
• D. Part D

Answer: (C)

Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) is the services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families, provided under Part C of IDEA. This part focuses on birth to age three and uses an individualized family service plan (IFSP) to coordinate services like speech, occupational and physical therapy, and service coordination in natural environments. Other parts of IDEA serve different populations: Part A covers general provisions, Part B covers school-age children (ages 3–21) with an IEP in educational settings, and Part D outlines national activities and technical assistance. So ECI is placed under Part C.
