Interested in becoming a leader in early intervention?
Back by popular demand, the Early Intervention Leadership Program starts a new series in September 2026. We are offering an eight-hour parent/caregiver leadership program in early intervention. The program content includes: advocacy skills, principles of early intervention, and leadership opportunities to impact systemic change. Participants who attend all four sessions and participate in the testimonial video will be paid a $25 gift card and receive a caregiver leadership packet. The program will be held over zoom. Up to 50 individuals can participate.
To participate in this program, you must:
- have a child between the ages of 0-8 who received early intervention services
- agree to participate in the leadership program
The Early Intervention Leadership Program will be held:
- Spanish
