one of the easiest ways to keep your little loved ones safe in a car is by making sure they are in the correct type of car seat or booster? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has great resources on  choosing the best option for your child. Once you have the perfect seat for your child's needs, stop by a  car seat inspection site  to put your mind at ease and know it has been installed and adjusted properly.

that if a child has a chronic medical condition, it can have an impact on their care in an emergency?  This form , from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), can be filled out by your child's pediatrician or specialist in advance, and brought with you if your child need emergency care. Pro tip: put a copy in your child's diaper bag or backpack, and give copies to any caregivers. The people who know your child's medical history best, aren't always there in an emergency.

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.
