Early Intervention CoP
The Early Intervention CoP is a place where your voice can be heard and where you can gain new insights about working with families of infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) with developmental delays or disabilities. This is the place to pose questions, share ideas, problem solve, and discuss any early intervention topics of interest to you. You can also find resources specific to your interests and enhance your work in early intervention.
Join the Early Intervention CoP
When you join the EI CoP, you become a member of a peer-to-peer group of people vested in the field of EI. The short membership form gathers pertinent information about each member. The information is used to facilitate networking, resource-sharing, problem-solving, and collaboration around EI-related issues and discussions.
Upcoming Event
Professional Identity and EI Special Instructors: Who Are We?
Thursday, March 27th, 2025, 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time - Register here.
Dana Childress and Teran Frick will use recent research and the revised DEC position statement on special instruction to guide us through an exploration of the development of shared professional identity. Through lively discussions and reflection on how special instruction is provided and respected in the field, we will consider who we are and what we need to improve the identity of the special instructor/early intervention educator as important service providers. Participants are encouraged to review the position statement before we meet.
