Early Intervention Service Coordinator

• THIS IS A RE-POST: PREVIOUS APPLICANTS DO NOT NEED TO REAPPLY TO BE CONSIDERED*

EI Service Coordinators (EISCs) are the heart of Early Intervention! They provide service coordination for children in the NC Infant-Toddler Program and support to their families and caregivers.  Research shows that birth to three is a critical period for working with families to support their competence and confidence as their child's first and most important teacher. The birth-to-three period offers a window of opportunity to make a positive difference in how a child develops and learns.  EISCs typically have the flexibility of telework and a hybrid workplace. EISC duties include:

• Working with families and team members to develop functional Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs)

• Working with multi-disciplinary teams to determine families' needs for supports and services

• Conducting home visits

• Coordinating services, such as speech and physical therapy

• Arranging and monitoring other early intervention services

• Planning for transition to other services at age three

Who are we?

Infant-Toddler Program which provides supports and services for families and their  children, birth to three, who have developmental delays and/or disabilities.

• Children's Developmental Services Agencies (CDSAs) are the local agencies that implement the NC ITP across North Carolina, working with local service providers to help families help their children succeed.
