Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Illinois Department of Human Services Bureau of Early Intervention and Early Intervention Technical Assistance and Monitoring Program (EITAM) will continue to provide Technical Assistance to Providers, Child and Family Connections personnel, and EI Stakeholders. We will continue to work with Providers with mail in or remote monitoring reviews if they are capable and able to participate. Providers that face any hardships and are unable to participate will be granted extensions to assist in the review process or may request their review be postponed to a later date. If you are contacted for a review, please communicate with the staff of EITAM and we will work with you to either complete, extend or postpone the review through this COVID-19 pandemic period of time.
Please do not include any child's personally identifiable information in emails.

Monitoring Review Resources
Vander Weele Group monitors ensure that compliance findings are grounded in statutory and policy standards and supported by evidence. Except for rare and extreme situations, we adopt a non-punitive approach to monitoring. We excel at providing technical assistance to enable providers, and the organizations that hire them, overcome barriers to success. As one of our monitors, Brian Gleason, said, “If providers heard us collaborate, they would be so surprised to hear that we are on their side. Our goal is not to make them angry and give them a finding of non-compliance, but to help them serve their clients. We’re monitors, but we’re also teachers and counselors.”
The following resources will help you prepare for your monitoring review.
