Infant and Toddler EI is a program that provides services to children from birth to their third birthday who have a developmental delay or a high probability of having a developmental delay. Also referred to as Part C EI, these services aim to improve outcomes that are critical to a family’s ability to support their child’s health, optimal development, educational success, and lifelong well-being.
Since 2022, the Early Learning Pennsylvania coalition and the Thriving PA campaign have been proud to increase awareness of and foster policymaker support for Infant and Toddler Early Intervention (EI), also known as Part C EI. With a statewide advocacy workgroup convened for the first time, an initial goal was to receive and analyze EI related data from the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL). A formal request was submitted to the state in 2023 for both FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 Infant and Toddler EI data, and to date, the workgroup has received and analyzed statewide and county-level data specific to the areas of fiscal, eligibility, and enrollment information.
