EITP Virtual Office Hours are held the first Tuesday of the month from 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Central Time.
Description:
For individuals new to the early intervention system, it is common for questions to arise when learning the ropes. The Early Intervention Training Program recognizes this, and we are excited to announce another level of support: EITP Virtual Office Hours! On the first Tuesday of each month, from 3-4pm, new providers will have the opportunity to ask questions about our field and our work. EITP team members and partners will be available to answer your questions and provide clarification, guidance and support as you familiarize yourself with the EI program beyond the Systems Overview. You may call in every month or intermittently, as it suits you. There is no fee for this service, and no credit hours will be awarded. This is open to providers in their first year. No question is too small! We are here for you!
