Supporting Families from the Very Start - Reflections on Early Intervention

This two - hour workshop was developed to help Service Coordinators understand the real life application of both the EI Principles and the ECTA child outcomes through the stories of real people whose lives have been impacted by Early Intervention. When families first enter into the Illinois Early Intervention System, they have little idea how important the Principles of Early Intervention and the ECTA Child Outcomes will be to their child and family. It is critical for Service Coordinators to understand the far- reaching implications and model advocacy and inclusion for the families they support and serve.
