About The Position

EI Service Coordinators (EISCs) are the heart of Early Intervention! They provide service coordination for children in the NC Infant-Toddler Program (NC ITP) and support to their families and caregivers. Research shows that birth to three is a critical period for working with families to support their competence and confidence as their child’s first and most important teacher. The birth-to-three period offers a window of opportunity to make a positive difference in how a child develops and learns. EISCs typically have the flexibility of telework and a hybrid workplace. EISC duties include: • Working with families and a multi-disciplinary team member to develop functional Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) based on a family's needs for supports and services. • Conducting home and community-based visits. • Assisting Families in arranging, coordinating and monitoring Early Intervention services any and all services their child is receiving. • Planning for transition to other services at age three.
