I. Abstract
The IDEIA requires Tribes and Tribal
organizations to submit certain
information to the Secretary of the
Interior (Secretary). See 20 U.S.C.
1411(h)(4)(c) and 1443(b)(3). Under the
IDEIA, the U.S. Department of
Education provides funding to the
Secretary for the coordination of
assistance for special education and
related services for Indian children aged
zero to five with disabilities on
reservations served by Bureau-funded
schools. The Secretary, through the BIE,
then allocates this funding to Tribes and
Tribal organizations based on the
number of such children served. In
order to allow the Secretary to
determine what amounts to allocate to
whom, the IDEIA requires Tribes and
Tribal organizations to submit
information to Interior. The BIE collects
this information on two forms, one for
Indian children aged three to five
covered by IDEIA Part B, and one for
Indian children aged zero to two
covered by IDEIA Part C.
IDEIA Part B—Assistance for
Education of All Children with
Disabilities requires Tribes and Tribal

in Child Find, screening, and other
procedures for the early identification of
Indian children aged three through five
who may have a disability., Part B
funding may also be used to provide
parent training, and the provision of
direct services. See 20 U.S.C.
1411(h)(4)(D). IDEIA Part C—Infants and
Toddlers with Disabilities likewise
requires Tribes and Tribal organizations
to use the fund to assist in Child Find,
screening, and other procedures for
early identification of Indian children
under three years of age who may have
a disability. Part C funding may also be
used to provide parent training, and
early intervention services. See 20
U.S.C. 1443(b)(4).
