Everyday Early Intervention During Trying Times

The Early Intervention Clearinghouse has compiled a collection of resources to help families consider ways to help their children during everyday routines. Families can work on EI outcomes during play and daily routines. We hope these resources help you start to think about everyday moments in the kitchen, when doing the laundry, or playing on the couch and turn them into opportunities for Everyday Early Intervention with your family. In addition, please contact us to request books and DVDs for you and your child to use at home.
