Early intervention service coordination
Service coordination is a free service. It protects the rights of families and children and helps make sure all available Early Intervention (EI) services are provided.
What is the role of a service coordinator?
A service coordinator understands the policies and procedures of the Early Intervention Program (EIP). They are your family's single point of contact.
They coordinate services among multiple providers, help you reach all available resources, and protect the rights of you and your child.
What does a service coordinator do?
- Helps you get access to services, including making referrals to providers and scheduling appointments
- Coordinates Early Intervention services and other services your child may need or already receive, such as medical or social services
- Coordinates evaluations and assessments
- Helps develop, review, and evaluate Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs), and takes part in those meetings
- Makes sure services are provided on time
- Tells you about your rights and procedural safeguards
- Coordinates the funding sources for Early Intervention services
- Helps plan your child's move to preschool, school, or other services
