Welcome to the Illinois Early Intervention Training Program. Below you will find some helpful information that will help you navigate the requirements for new providers in the Illinois Early Intervention System. The Illinois Interagency Council on Early Intervention's "Principles of Early Intervention" guide the outcomes we hope to achieve through Early Intervention and our Early Intervention Training Model. All early interventionists in Illinois should adhere to these principles as they serve children and families. Early Interventionists may want to reflect on what each principles means to them and what it looks like in practice. This activity can be done individually, with peers, and with families.

Launched in September 2022, Be Part of Early Intervention has resources to help explore EI professions and a mailing list to join. The Be Part of EI video provides an overview of early intervention and explains how you may be able to help a family in early intervention.

These events are shared as training resources to the field. These reviewed events are posted to our training calendar as a courtesy not as an endorsement. Please check the calendar for the amount of credit for each event. Training events may be face-to-face or online.

All providers entering the IL Early Intervention System are required to complete the Online Systems Overview and Online System Overview Follow-up (SOFU). To register, please visit the EITP Online Events Calendar for Online Systems Overview and for the second part visit the Upcoming Sessions of SOFU page. EITP also has Training Path Recommendations for New Providers (pdf), which outlines recommended trainings and how to find trainings for new EI providers. If you are not a provider, but instead are a service coordinator, interpreter/translator, or parent liaison, you have different requirements. Please see the Required Trainings section on our New to EI page for details. Beyond the required trainings, EITP develops curriculum that reflects Illinois policies and procedures as well as research based best practices in the field of early intervention.

Any training activity sponsored by EITP is a good choice and is endorsed by the IL Bureau of Early Intervention. These activities are posted on our website through the EITP Events Calendar. Unless otherwise noted, these training events/activities are open to all early interventionists with online registration available. We also offer a variety of online training curriculum through the EITP Online Events Calendar. For both calendars, simply click on the event title for details. Other upcoming events, that have been through the EI credit review process and determined to be appropriate to count towards your Illinois early intervention credential, can be found on our Non-EITP Events Calendar.

However, EITP neither endorses, guarantees, nor promotes the content of those training events. The Bureau of Early Intervention within the Illinois Department of Human Services is the lead agency for services for children birth to age three with developmental delays or disabilities and their families in Illinois. The Bureau administers the statewide Early Intervention Services system in coordination with its administrative partners. This page was developed in response to questions received from providers, but is only meant to answer basic questions. Please visit the EI partner pages for more comprehensive information. Anyone can refer a child to early intervention – parents, physicians, other health care providers, child care providers, social service agencies, early learning programs, etc.

Once a referral is made, it is up to the family to decide whether they want to participate. When possible, please use the standard referral form and fax the completed forms to the family’s local Child and Family Connections (CFC) office. To find your local CFC office, call (800) 843-6154. The Getting Started in Early Intervention: The Early Intervention Process page describes the EI journey from referral through transition and is available in multiple languages. For additional information, see the IDHS Publication: Referring a Child to Early Intervention EIC tip sheets are written for families.

We have several series that will help families understand the EI system and support their young children. All our tip sheets are available in English and Spanish, with others available in .

EITP offers another level of support to help - the New to EI Forum! New providers will have the opportunity to ask questions to the EI partners about our field and our work.
