Feedback Needed for Early Intervention Toolkit Creation
Trying Together, the Early Learning Resource Center (ELRC) Region 5’s quality partner, is in the process of creating an Early Intervention (EI) Toolkit to strengthen the collaboration between early intervention, child care, and families with young children. To guide that, Trying Together created a survey to learn more about day-to-day experiences and collaborations between early learning programs, EI providers, and families with young children.
About
EI services are described as services and supports that are available to eligible infants and young children (younger than age five and before beginning kindergarten) with developmental delays or disabilities and their families. EI services may include but are not limited to: service coordination, special instruction, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. EI services build upon natural learning opportunities that occur during a child's everyday activities and routines, and they are designed to be collaborative between the EI providers and the child's caregivers.
Survey feedback will directly support the development of an interactive and engaging EI toolkit to provide additional support, tools, and resources.
Who is the Survey For?
Early care and education programs (leadership and/or teachers) who have young children enrolled who currently receive OR have recently (within the past six months) received EI services while in your care.
