Early Intervention Training Program

EITP is funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) Bureau of Early Intervention to provide professional development to early interventionists serving children and families in the Illinois Early Intervention System. The mission of EITP is to develop a comprehensive system of personnel development that is regionalized, responsive, reflective of best practices in the field of early intervention. EITP serves to enhance the quality of services provided to infants, toddlers and their families through an effective and robust network of well-trained, well-supported early interventionists.

EI Curriculum Workgroup

The EI Curriculum Workgroup is comprised of members with extensive experience developing and delivering early intervention training whose focus is to utilize existing online resources to build an online universal core curriculum of quality early intervention practices. This workgroup formed in 2013 out of a community of practice formerly known as the Early Intervention-Early Childhood Professional Development Community of Practice (EI-EC PD CoP) whose common interest (between 2009-2023) was around online learning and professional development opportunities for early interventionists. In 2023, the Universal Online Part C EI Curriculum Workgroup became a subgroup of the Division for Early Childhood Professional Development Community of Practice (DEC PD CoP).
