Illinois Early Intervention Experiences: Aleya’s Story

In this video, Aleya shares her experience as a mother who has enrolled her child in the Illinois Early Intervention program.

She provides her insight by answering five questions:

  1. How did you first become involved with the early intervention (EI) program?
  2. How would you describe your relationship with your EI service coordinators and providers?
  3. What has been your experience with live video vs in-person visits and do you prefer one over the other?
  4. Which EI resources have been the most helpful for your family?
  5. What advice would you give to other families that are starting early intervention?
