October is a NCSEAM Family Survey month? If you have been receiving EI for at least six months, and did not get a survey in March, you may be asked to fill one out. Your feedback helps the Department of Public Health know how your EI program is doing in three key areas. If you have questions about the survey, call us at 877-353-4757, or visit eiplp.org/family-outcomes/.

Parent Contacts are an important part of the Massachusetts Early Intervention System. Parent Contacts are parents and guardians of children currently receiving EI services who volunteer to receive information from the EIPLP and share it with other families. If your child is no longer receiving services, or you no longer wish to be the Parent Contact for your EI program, please let us know by calling
1-877-353-4757 or emailing[email protected] so that we can identify another family from your program.
