THE STEPS IN ECI
This is an overview of the steps you and
your child can take in an ECI program. There are certain times when
these steps should happen.
Referral
A child should be referred to ECI as soon
as there is a concern about a developmental delay. A referral source,
such as your doctor, is required by law to call ECI within two days if
a delay is suspected.
Intake/Screening
This is required to happen within 45 days
of the referral.
Evaluation/Assessment
This is required to happen within 45 days
of the referral.
Service Plan (IFSP)
Meeting
This is required to happen within 45 days
of referral.

Transition/Discharge
You must leave ECI when your child turns 3
or when he/she is developing appropriately for his or her age and is no
longer eligible for ECI. Planning should begin at age 2.
