Early Intervention Service Delivery in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania’s Early Intervention (EI) Programs recognize young children learn best through everyday experiences and interactions with nurturing people in familiar contexts, embed meaningful and functional outcomes within learning opportunities that exist in the child’s typical routines, and promote collaboration with families, caregivers and early childhood education professionals. These are foundational elements included in Pennsylvania’s EI Principles.
The identified frameworks are:
Family Guided Routines Based Intervention (FGRBI) for Infant and Toddler Programs.
Embedded Instruction for Early Learning (EIEL) for Preschool Programs.
They both recognize the strengths of each child and family and build on those strengths to support their unique needs and enhance learning opportunities.
As part of professional development, learning paths, curated sequences of resources organized in a way to provide foundational knowledge, have been developed for each of these frameworks.
