The Early Intervention Program(EIP) is a comprehensive interagency program that supports infants and children with developmental delays in their efforts to realize their full potential. It reduces the likelihood of delays among at-risk children, assists and empowers families to meet their child's and their own needs, and entitles children, regardless of race, ethnicity or income to services through the program. The EIP is legally mandated under Title II-A, §2552, of Article 25 of the NYS PHL to ensure that eligible children receive therapeutic services as soon as possible, and it has been recognized as an essential service during COVID-19 by NYS. The process of getting children to services includes processing referrals to the EIP, scheduling evaluations and Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) meetings, convening IFSP meetings, and authorizing services. Children continue to receive IFSP meetings every six (6) months for as long as they are in the Program. The Bureau of Early Intervention oversees provision of therapeutic services to 30,000 children ages birth to 3 years each year. At the borough level, contracted service agencies are monitored by the Regional Office.

Ensure the accurate completion of other procedures as delineated in the NYC Policy and Procedure Manual and NYS Regulations Ensure the completion of all necessary documentation relating to the evaluation and IFSP process, including service and billing paperwork to ensure continued services for EI children. Respond to, prepare for and attend/participate in mediations/fair hearings as assigned. Attend regularly scheduled meetings inside and outside of the Regional Office as directed. Communicate with EI providers, families, service coordinators and other colleagues in a professional manner. Report concerns and submit requests for technical assistance to supervisor and other units within the Bureau as appropriate.
