ECI of LifePath
Systems provides critical support, developmental assistance and other services
for children with developmental delays and their families in Collin County,
Rockwall and Kaufman Counties. (Note: Children living within
the Plano ISD boundaries are served by a similar agency, Infant
and Toddler Intervention Program.) ECI of LifePath Systems also
offers respite care, parent support
groups, parent-to-parent support
(by telephone or e-mail), and special activities such as holiday parties
and the annual “I Love a Parade” event.
Our services
focus on the daily routines of the family and are provided in the home
or other natural environments where the child and family are during the
day. Staff also visits childcare centers and other sites to work
with grandparents and other caregivers. Current research says that
intervention
provided directly by family members or caregivers during the normal daily
routines results in the most gain for the child. Staying on the “cutting
edge” in order to provide the most effective and efficient services possible
means that our staff teach, model and support family efforts.
Our ability to
identify and offer assistance to eligible families has been helped immensely
by our Child Find program, public
awareness activities and through the dedicated efforts of the ECI
Advisory committee. As the Director, it is exciting to watch
each month as our program continues to increase the number of children
receiving ECI services.
I invite you
to participate in the events noted above or find more information through
some of the links on this web site. By reading our quarterly parent
newsletter on the web site you can stay updated on program changes and
important announcements. Please contact me with your suggestions
if I can make your ECI experience an even better one!
