ABOUT US

The SCPDI acknowledges the critical role that service coordinators (SCs) play in the Early Intervention Program and the lives of families accessing the Program. SCs and interventionists are part of an interdisciplinary team who are expected to collaborate, coordinate, facilitate, empower, clarify, provide, and exchange information as part of their work with families. The SCPDI aims to support SCs and other EI professionals in improving the engagement and retention of families in the Program through the delivery of high-quality professional development training.

The SCPDI provides free synchronous, remote trainings that cover evidence-based family-centered best practices, culturally relevant service coordination, engaging and retaining EI families, empowering families of special needs children, advanced service coordination supervision, reflective supervision, and the integration of natural environments, best practices and the creation of functional outcomes. Service coordinators, early interventionists across disciplines, supervisors, and quality assurance managers are invited to participate because the topics are relevant to all EI professionals working with families.
