WE ASKED,
YOU REPLIED, AND WE HEARD
| |
During the month of August a survey was sent three times to all certified EI providers and service coordinators, Local System Managers, and any other constituents that participate in Talks on Tuesdays (ToTs) webinars. The survey was an opportunity to provide feedback and gain insight into how participants access ToTs. If you would like to see the survey specifics, click here to download the results. One important question related to whether we should change the time for ToTs. Since the majority of respondents chose to keep ToTs from 12:00-1:00PM, we will continue with our regular time. Additionally, we did not have feedback regarding any technology snafus. If you ARE having difficulty, please contact either Cori Hill or Dana Childress so we might be able to troubleshoot. THANKS to those who took
the time to respond
to our survey!

MONTHLY FEATURED TOPIC -
Supports and Services, Frequency and LENGTH | |
Have you heard the change in the most recent federal Part C regs? For more years than many of us can count, we've talked about 'frequency and intensity.' The recent regulations clarified that "intensity" refers to whether the service is provided on an individual or group basis and "length" is the term for the amount of time the service is provided in each session. While it may take a little practice to make this change and there is not an overabundance of research on this topic, check out these resources that may give you some guiding questions to consider:

TALKS ON TUESDAYS | |
Talks on Tuesdays (ToTs) are one-hour webinars designed to provide free online training opportunities related to important topics in early intervention. Topics chosen for the Talks on Tuesdays webinar series are based on feedback from EI practitioners about what they need to know more about! ToTs are held on the first Tuesday of the month from 12:00-1:00PM.
