Full course description
Summary
Measuring the Impact of EI: The Family Outcomes Survey provides a practical overview that will help you understand the purpose of the survey, how its data is used and affects your work, and what best practices you can put in place to improve family outcomes and survey results.
The survey is completed by families after they leave early intervention. It asks them to evaluate their experience working with you and the early intervention program. The results play a significant role in oversight and funding, provide valuable insight into the early intervention program’s strengths and challenges, and help to guide program improvements.
