Your Early Intervention Stories
Fill out a postcard and share your story!
Illinois' Early Intervention (EI) program provides critical services to children under age 3 who have or are at risk for significant developmental delays and disabilities. Recent increases to the state's EI budget have not been nearly enough to ensure equitable access to the life-changing developmental services and supports that EI provides.
Thousands of families are still waiting for the EI services to which they are legally entitled. Service delays are tied directly to the program’s ongoing workforce crisis. EI providers continue to leave the program because the math doesn’t add up.
If your family has been impacted by EI, fill out a postcard below and share your story!

Our Priority: Optimized Early Intervention
Across Illinois, there is a clear lack of awareness of Early Intervention (EI) services available to families and the criteria for who can access these services, even among early childhood and health care providers. Raising Illinois is committed to ensuring equitable access to EI services and supports that can make a lifelong difference.
