Early Intervention is a statewide system that provides coordinated early intervention services to parents of eligible children under the age of three with developmental delays or disabilities.
Early Intervention (EI) is a Coordinated System
EI services support parents of infants and toddlers with disabilities. EI is grounded in the philosophy that young children learn best from familiar people in familiar settings. That’s why your local EI team, which includes a service coordinator and service providers, works with you in your home or other places you and your family spend time to develop a coordinated plan.
EI Is Built on a Developmental Approach
EI builds upon and provides supports and resources to assist parents and caregivers to enhance children’s learning and development through everyday routines. It is a collaborative, home and community-based system where you and a team work together to provide ongoing support to your child.
