Representatives of the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH)’s Early Intervention Division visited CHD’s Early Intervention (EI) program on January 12 to see services in action and learn more about CHD’s approach and the effectiveness of services.

CHD’s EI program works with children from birth to three years of age who have—or are at risk of—developmental delays.

CHD achieves over 98 percent effectiveness in providing services in a child’s natural environment, and over 97 percent of infants and toddlers served demonstrate improved use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs.

Pictured (L-R) are DPH Operations Manager Leslie Mitrano, CHD EI Program Supervisor Cindy Napoli, CHD EI Program Director Erinne Gorneault, DPH Clinical Oversight and Support Specialist Faith Bombardier, DPH Director of Early Intervention Emily White, DPH Family and Community Engagement Manager Kathleen Amaral, DPH Clinical Quality Manager Molly Gilbride, and CHD EI Program Supervisor Alison Bartone.
