Parents

Early identification of potential development issues is the first step in obtaining supportive and necessary intervention that can help your child. Parents and families that are aware of available services for direct assistance with their children and/or supportive education are the best equipped to address and provide for their child's needs, HTA recognizes that ultimate success of interventions at any age require the active participation of parents/caregivers. Consequently, HTA provides guidance and support to the parents/guardians of all children/students that receive service from our roster of providers.

EI Early Intervention CPSE Preschool CSE School Age

Welcome to EI

Entering the Early Intervention Program can be an overwhelming time for you and your child, but we want to help you navigate through the services with the greatest ease possible.

EI services are designed to help your child participate within the natural environment in daily activities tailored to his/her developmental needs. The intervention is family-centered, and your ongoing participation is essential for optimal impact of the services provided.

Accordingly, as parents, you are instrumental in helping create the functional goals to be addressed as documented on his/her IFSP. The ongoing service coordinator (OSC) is responsible to find providers to match the plan on the IFSP. You may have several questions/concerns throughout these placements, and we would like to help guide you with some basic information, and appropriate contact names for your convenience.

  • Service provision within EI can occur seven days/week at times convenient to you and your child.
  • Your providers need to have a consistent schedule that fits your child's available time.
  • Time sheets must be signed as each Session is provided. session duration/frequency/location MUST match the authorization of the IFSP. Requests to sign off on empty forms are inappropriate. We suggest that you keep your own calendar of services so that you have an accurate record.
  • You will receive regular reports that address progress towards your IFSP goals. Ask your OSC if you haven't received one.
  • If you have questions/concerns about any HTA providers, we can help support the provider in need, help by providing feedback to the provider for more effective instruction for your child, or find a replacement if all else fails.
  • Remember - the progress of your child is the priority!

  • Service provision within CPSE must occur from Monday-Friday and ideally during typical school hours, although we do allow sessions to run as late as 5:00 or 6:00 pm.
  • Your providers need to have a consistent schedule that fits your child's available time.
