Parent Contact update

February 2024

Please let us know!

We know that early intervention isn't forever and that all families in our system will move on to new experiences and chapters in their journey.

If your family has taken that next step, and you are no longer in EI, we would like to update our records and work with your program to identify a new Parent Contact.

Please let us know by answering our question below.

Is your family still receiving EI services?

Yes

Resources & Opportunities

The Visions of Community Conference is Coming!

The Federation for Children with Special Needs Visions of Community conference will be held virtually on Saturday, March 9, 2024. Each year, the EIPLP covers the cost for a limited number of Parent Contacts to attend this conference.

Workshops will cover lots of topics spanning EI-aged children to young adults and are available in multiple languages. This conference is a great way to connect with services, agencies, and other families AND learn LOTS. If you'd like to attend this virtual event, please send Liz an email here, and we will get you registered.

Save The Date for the Annual MEIC Conference

The Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium (MEIC) is being held on May 6 and 7, 2024. This is an excellent opportunity, and we would like you to be there! As a Parent Contact for your EI program, you are invited to attend this conference, and EIPLP will cover your registration. You may choose to attend on Monday in person in Marlborough, MA, on Tuesday virtually, or BOTH!

As we get closer to the date, you will receive information about the conference, learn why it's an amazing opportunity for families as well as providers, and how to register. In the meantime, please save the dates and reach out to Liz (liz.cox@mass.gov) with any questions.
