Can providers furnish information to families when they are initially contacted to obtain EIP information?
Providers may provide a general explanation of the services available under the EIP. However, providers must comply with Articles 1.3 and 1.8 of the standards and inform parents and guardians of the following: • All children must be referred to the municipality to access EI services • The municipality will arrange for service providers to deliver services authorized by the municipality when the individual needs of the child and family are determined.
