The EIP is legally mandated under Title II-A, 2552, of Article 25 of the NYS PHL to ensure that eligible children receive therapeutic services as soon as possible, and it has been recognized as an essential service during COVID-19 by NYS. The process of getting children to services includes processing referrals to the EIP, scheduling evaluations and Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) meetings, convening IFSP meetings, and authorizing services. Children continue to receive IFSP meetings every six (6) months for as long as they are in the Program.

Facilitate IFSP meetings with families, interventionists and service coordinators in a manner consistent with SDOH regulations and NYC EIP policies and procedures, within mandated timelines, using Microsoft Outlook and NYEIS (New York Early Intervention System, the NYS EI IT system) for data entry, case processing and other activities
Ensure the accurate completion of other procedures as delineated in the NYC Policy and Procedure Manual and NYS Regulations
Ensure the completion of all necessary documentation relating to the evaluation and IFSP process, including service and billing paperwork to ensure continued services for EI children

PREFERRED SKILLS:
Preference will be given to individuals who understand child development, delays and disabilities, in addition to having knowledge of services for young children, and of family-centered services. The candidate must have good communication and organizational skills, and the ability to work well under pressure and to meet deadlines. Knowledge of EI regulations is also an asset.
