How does monitoring support families?
The Early Intervention Technical Assistance and Monitoring Program supports families by ensuring the Early Intervention Services they receive are being delivered in compliance with applicable policies and procedures, and supports the continuous improvement of these services to ensure the needs of families are being met.
Investing in early childhood education is the single most important education policy decision a government can make, states Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. Monitoring not only fulfills the state’s legal obligations to ensure adequate oversight, it brings other benefits as well. Monitoring:
- helps ensure that expenditures are directed toward fulfilling the EI mission.
- enhances program fidelity, integrity, and effectiveness—and demonstrates to stakeholders a commitment to such.
- promotes technical assistance and professional learning to be tailored to programmatic needs identified during monitoring reviews.
- provides a direct means to communicate with EI providers working throughout the state.
Do you wonder if your child’s development is on target for her age? Most delays are nothing to worry about, but in some young children, delays can signal a special need. This guide is written for families with questions about their infant or toddler’s development.

Principles of Early Intervention
The following principles guide the state's Early Intervention practices.
