Who is eligible for I-Team Early Intervention services?
Families and teams requesting an Early Intervention Project consultation will answer yes to both the following statements. Teams are welcome to contact the Early Intervention Project if they would like to further explore whether their child meets the eligibility criteria outlined below.
- The child is currently between the ages of birth and 3 years old and has been referred to or is receiving services through Part C Early Intervention.
- The child’s team is seeking consultation from the I-Team Early Intervention Project. This could include: modeling, coaching, co-visits, resource sharing, etc.
I find the online system confusing. Is there a walk-through?
Absolutely. In this video below, Project Director Pam Cummings walks you through how to submit a service referral.
Can I still submit a paper referral?
We prefer online referrals but if that is not possible, please contact Pam Cummings, pamela.cummings@uvm.edu to receive a paper referral.
Does I-Team Early Intervention do assessments?
Our project does not provide assessments for infants and toddlers. We do provide consultation and training to early intervention providers about assessments and can work with your team to determine the most appropriate tools to use.
Does I-Team Early Intervention work directly with babies and toddlers?
We do not provide direct therapy services to infants and toddlers. Our project is a consultative and training project. We work with the child’s early intervention team to support their direct work with the child and family as identified in our intake and ongoing communication with the team. Our Family Resources Consultant works with the full team and can be a direct source of support for families.
What happens after a request is submitted?
After you submit a service request, you will receive an email confirmation that the referral is complete. Your team will be assigned a point person from the I-Team Early Intervention Team. Your point person will work with you to schedule the intake meeting.
