Early Intervention CoP
The Early Intervention CoP is a place where your voice can be heard and where you can gain new insights about working with families of infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) with developmental delays or disabilities. This is the place to pose questions, share ideas, problem solve, and discuss any early intervention topics of interest to you. You can also find resources specific to your interests and enhance your work in early intervention.
Join the Early Intervention CoP
When you join the EI CoP, you become a member of a peer-to-peer group of people vested in the field of EI. The short membership form gathers pertinent information about each member. The information is used to facilitate networking, resource-sharing, problem-solving, and collaboration around EI-related issues and discussions.

Mind the Generation Gap: Enhancing Collaboration in Early Intervention
Early intervention professionals work within teams and alongside families whose generational experiences shape how they communicate, make decisions, and view professional relationships. This CoP meeting will discuss generational identity, as an aspect of cultural identity, influences values, preferences, feedback styles, technology use, and expectations in early intervention settings. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their own generational lens and increase generational awareness that, together, may reduce misunderstandings, enhance team cohesion, and build more responsive partnerships with families.
