the Department of Public Health is working on a document to walk families though the IFSP? This will replace the current IFSP Guidance that is in your Parent Contact Resource Guide. We are looking for families to take a look at the new document and give us their thoughts! This can be done at home, and we will send you a paper or electronic copy of the new document. Email

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
