Illinois Early Intervention Experiences: Caitlyn’s Story

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

She provides her insight by answering six questions:

  1. What has been your family’s experience with early intervention (EI)?
  2. What has been your experience with live video vs in-person visits? Do you prefer one over the other?
  3. How would you describe your relationship with your EI service coordinators and providers?
  4. Which EI resources have been the most helpful for your family?
  5. How has early intervention prepared you for the transition to school services?
  6. What advice would you give to other families that are starting early intervention?
