The NYS Department of Health's Bureau of Early Intervention and the Family Initiative Coordination Services Project Enhancement is sponsoring an Early Intervention Partners Training Project in the Northeast Region this winter.  Session I is a web-based training with an interactive webinar scheduled for January 15, 2011.  Sessions II & III are scheduled to meet in Saratoga Springs, NY on February 11-12, 2010 and March 18-19, 2011.

The Early Intervention Partners Training Project is a leadership-training program offering parents of young children with special needs an opportunity to enhance their advocacy and leadership skills.  The project is designed specifically for parents of infants and toddlers with special needs who are currently receiving early intervention services to support them in their efforts to become more effective partners with professionals and Early Intervention policymakers.  It is also designed to assist parent members in becoming more effective participants on their Local Early Intervention Coordinating Council (LEICC) and its committees. 

Space is limited to 60 parent representatives and the application is due by Monday, November 8th.
