there is a listing of commonly used words in EI and their meaning? You can find it on our website,
under the "Families" section! We also feature one of these terms each month on the right side of our Parent Contact Updates.

Procedural Safeguards and Family Rights are the policies and procedures established to protect the interests of a child and his/her family who may be, or are eligible for EI.
We love that you are here!
Parent Contacts are an important part of the Massachusetts Early Intervention System. Parent Contacts are parents and guardians of children currently receiving EI services who volunteer to receive information from the EIPLP and share it with other families. If your child is no longer receiving services, or you no longer wish to be the Parent Contact for your EI program, please let us know by calling
1-877-353-4757 or emailingeiplp@live.com so that we can identify another family from your program.
