| Description |
The Early Intervention Training Program at the University of Illinois proudly offers a comprehensive Institute Training Series that supports the key principles of early intervention and promotes evidence-based practices in providing intervention to young children and their families.
Open to early interventionists of all disciplines, this four (4) part series of trainings allows participants to build upon their knowledge over the course of the Institute and network, creating communities of practice that can continue to support learning and growth long after the Institute has ended. The Foundational Institute allows participants to take a deeper look at the key principles that guide our practice, assessment practices and teaming relationships in early intervention, and evidence-based intervention practices and strategies. This Institute will also provide participants with feedback on intervention practices through reflective videotaping and discussions.
Upon completion of this 4-part training series, including required take home assignments, participants will be awarded 25 hours of early intervention credential credit. Participation in all 4 sessions + take home assignment required. NO PARTIAL CREDIT WILL BE AWARDED. CEs towards State Licensures of OT, PT, SLP, Social Work, Nutrition/Dietician are also available.
**This Institute is part of a research study evaluating the impact of the training on early intervention providers’ beliefs and practices. Attendees must have a current early intervention credential and an active caseload. By participating in this Institute, you agree to complete a pre- and post-institute survey in addition to the homework and videotaping that is required. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a focus group approximately 6 weeks after the completion of the institute. As a token of appreciation for participation in the research study that accompanies the Institute, you will be given an Amazon gift card after the completion of all of the components of the institute. Please contact Christine Spence at cspence@illinois.edu for more information.**
