Illinois Early Intervention Experiences: Magda’s Story

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

She provides her insight by answering eight questions:

  1. What has your family’s experience been with starting early intervention (EI)?
  2. When did you first hear about the EI program?
  3. What does a typical EI visit look like for your family?
  4. What has been your experience with live video vs in-person visits and do you prefer one over the other?
  5. Which EI resources have been the most helpful for your family?
  6. What challenges, if any, have you experienced while participating in EI services?
  7. What changes would you like to see in the EI system?
  8. What is something you would like other families that are starting early intervention to know?
