NCSEAM Family Surveys are distributed this month? You may be asked to fill out a survey if you have been enrolled in EI for at least 6 months, and did not receive a survey in March. This informs the Department of Public Health on how your program is providing you information about three key areas :
1. Families know their rights and advocate effectively for their child
2. Families understand their child's strengths, abilities, adn special needs
3. Families help their child develop and learn
Check out the Family Survey Resources tab at eiplp.org for survey resources!

Parent Advisory Councils ( PACs) are a great way to get involved with your EI Program beyond your child's services? Parents can share valuable information with their program that can help them in a variety of ways. A PAC is not a place to address specific concerns about your child's services, but a place for families to give feedback or input on things that do (or will) effect ALL families serviced through the program.
