The Early Intervention Parent Leadership Project was originated by parents whose children have received Early Intervention Services. The Project works in collaboration with EI programs, the Massachusetts Interagency Coordinating Council, and families who receive Early Intervention services for three main purposes: to develop an informed parent constituency, to promote leadership and lifelong advocacy skills for parents and family members, and to facilitate family participation to ensure that Early Intervention Services are family-centered.
