The Federation has developed a new booklet to guide families and professionals through the Early Intervention process.
Whether you are a parent exploring options for the first time or a professional assisting a family in need, this resource provides a comprehensive overview of how to access Early Intervention services. It explains the steps to determine eligibility, the assessment process, and what families can expect once they begin receiving services.
Importantly, the booklet also addresses what families can do if they encounter obstacles or disagreements in the process. It answers questions such as:
- What happens if you disagree with a decision about your child’s services?
- What can you do if you are dissatisfied with your service coordinator or feel your concerns are not being heard?
The resource describes the role and rights of families and provides clear guidance for resolving disputes and effectively advocating for their children.
