Accreditation Check:

Therapists working in EI settings must be familiar with explicit requirements for screening, evaluation, and assessment to guide intervention as defined within federal legislation authorizing early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities (Part C of IDEA). The language and intent of the law may be unfamiliar for therapists providing services in a more traditional rehabilitative setting, such as out-patient or acute care. The topics in this course will cover theoretical frameworks as guiding principles in EI settings, the role of the therapist in screening, evaluation, and assessment, identifying red flags, choosing and using valid, reliable, and practical assessment tools, and practical strategies for performing assessments in the natural environments of EI settings. This is part two of a two part course on Early Intervention: Evaluation and Assessment to Inform Effective Intervention Services.
