Automatic Eligibility in EI – Considerations for Service Coordinators in the Illinois Early Intervention System.

As Service Coordinators meet new children and families and partner with initial evaluators, their knowledge of eligibility criteria is critical to facilitate the team decision making process. This two hour workshop will focus on the category of eligibility related to the DHS “Medical Conditions Resulting in High Probability of Developmental Delay”. Discussion will include: review of CFC Procedure Manual, policies and resources, sharing information with families and providers, and case based discussion.
