CIS Early Intervention
 |
The CIS Early Intervention (EI) Program supports infants and toddlers (birth to three years of age) with a measurable developmental delay or medical condition that may lead to a developmental delay. The purpose of the program is to provide guidance to families as they support their child's development. Services are provided in settings natural to the child's daily life using play based intervention techniques. The program is funded through Part C federal funds, Department of Education contribution, state general funds, Medicaid and in-kind services.
Referral Process
In addition to parents initiating contact with CIS EI, a doctor, educator or other family member familiar with the child may make a referral with the parent's knowledge and permission. Any question you may have about your child's development is an acceptable reason to call, even if you do not think your child is delayed. If your child is not eligible for our services, we may be able to provide resources or other referral sources that may assist you and your child.
Eligibility
We provide a developmental screening for any concern. The screening determines eligibility for a multi-disciplinary evaluation or possibly referrals to other community resources. Once eligibility is determined, we work together to develop an Individualized Family Service Plan that supports the daily routines of your child within your family.

The IFSP defines what your child will receive, how the services will be provided and where. This document is used throughout your child's involvement in the CIS EI program. It is a guide and means to evaluate progress. It is reviewed at 6 month intervals at minimum. The document is updated to reflect your child and family changes. If your child continues to be eligible for services by the age of three the document is used as a basis for transition to the Essential Early Education Program (EEE). As a team we plan with the EEE program to bridge the transition from CIS EI to EEE or other community programs.
