 Program Help for New Early Intervention Providers

New to EI Forum: For individuals new to the early intervention system, it is common for questions to arise when learning the ropes. The Early Intervention Partners (Early Intervention Training Program (EITP), Provider Connections, Early Intervention Clearinghouse, Central Billing Office and the EI Monitoring Program are excited to announce Virtual Office Hours! On the first Tuesday of each month, from 3-4pm, new providers will have the opportunity to ask questions about our field and our work. Partners will be available to answer your questions and provide clarification, guidance and support as you familiarize yourself with the EI program. You may call in every month or intermittently, as it suits you. There is no fee for this service, and no credit hours will be awarded. This is open to providers in their first year. No question is too small! We are here for you!
