Contact Log Entries Document initial contact with families on the parent contact log feature of the EIMS database when scheduling a new service Review Policy/Procedure on Communication Note Completion Please let RA know when your 1st session is scheduled or if you have had difficulty scheduling – this is extremely important! Also let RA know when 1st session actually occurs. Should all be attending full day state training on IFSP document. For

Provision of Services NJEIS-16
Support all outcomes to the maximum extent possible when appropriate and safe. All practitioners must be aware of all outcomes Communication between multiple practitioners is encouraged

Natural Environments Means more than simply home based services!
Natural Environments are the philosophy of the NJEIS and IDEA Caregivers must always be present during a session. Caregivers should be actively participating and engaged with their child throughout the entire session Eliminate or minimize bringing in toys or other items that limit parental carry over

Natural Environments Settings that are natural or typical for the child’s age peers who have no disabilities Outcomes are contextualized around daily routines or times of day

Natural Environments Children receiving Early Intervention services in a daycare setting should not be removed from the classroom Practitioners should work within the routines of the center, and facilitate the child to participate in the activities

Natural Environments Working in close contact with families in their home can be challenging. Report concerns to your Regional Administrator Follow lead for each family such as removing your shoes, moving about the house etc., Limit sharing of personal information or getting too involved with family (don’t friend on Facebook or have playdates or sell them products etc.)

Natural Environments Work with each family to facilitate ongoing strategies Provide suggestions on strategies to incorporate into their routine. Don’t give the family “homework” Each family is unique, so be objective and compassionate with your approach

Service Logging Will be completed through the EIMS Must complete the fields; Who was present?; Successes and concerns since last visit; Intervention Techniques (Routines and Strategies). Contacts with other practitioners and the Service Coordinator can go on a communication log.

Service Logging There is also a section at the bottom for additional comments “Today’s Progress/Highlights/Overall Comments” – use this section to add additional information not captured in other 3 fields. Any discussions that occur during session about switched days, etc. should be placed in parent contact log. for cases not in EIMS after a review call your RA and complete paper note and then back log when available Contacts with other practitioners and the Service Coordinator can go on a communication log.

Service logging notes The EIMS service log is the session note.
Families can not see that note unless you show them and discuss it with them after you log it. They can take photos or notes so they have the information. The notes don’t print out as a document. Some people copy and paste the info into word to print out for families. Contacts with other practitioners and the Service Coordinator can go on a communication log.

Service Logging All service logging must be placed in the EIMS no later than 48 hours from date of service you provided

Service Encounter Verification Log
This form must be completed for every service you complete. It is a paper form you bring with you to every session Family/caregiver must sign to verify that you were there on that particular day at that particular time to conduct a session. Must have times filled in when signed Do not need to put anything for LOA/Grant number. Child ID can be found on IFSP

Location of Services When going out into the community never drive with or take the family Ongoing location change will be reflected on IFSP – daycare vs. home If daycare is closed or family schedule changes can do a session at home instead at family request

Documentation All documentation not done through EIMS must be in ink
If a mistake is made, cross out with one line with your initials next to it. You may not use white out!! All forms should have dates, month/date/year, and a.m. or p.m. must be indicated. Please list exact times in and out Signatures are required on all consents or log verifications. Initials are not acceptable

Missed Services NJEIS Policy 14-Rescheduling, Make-Up, or Compensatory Services for Missed/Disrupted Early Intervention Services Early Intervention Services may be missed or disrupted due to a practitioner canceling, the family canceling, extreme weather or a natural disaster, or because of a state, federal, or religious holiday wherein the agency is closed. If a service is interrupted for any of the above reasons, depending on the situation, it can either be rescheduled or made up.

Make-Up

Missed Services Week is from Sunday through Saturday. This means if a parent cancels a weekly Saturday session you can not reschedule for Sunday. If you know ahead of time you can reschedule for earlier in the week Let your RA know about any anticipated or actual disruption in services If family is unhappy they can speak with SC, REIC or procedural safeguards

Family Cancellations Reason for family cancellation must be documented in family contact log on EIMS Please remind parents when they cancel that they are not entitled to a make up session. If a family cancels, a reschedule is only option A reschedule is documented in the contact log only. It won’t effect how session is logged in EIMS

Make Up Services Continued
Any offers for make ups after a practitioner cancellation must be documented in contact log so even if family does not accept the offer to do make ups we have it documented that we made the offer. Include dates and times offered in your documentation. Can occur anytime during IFSP period

Make Up Sessions Continued
The frequency and length of all make up services must occur as written in IFSP Please document all of your cancellations and discussion with parents about make ups in the parent contact log and actually log in the missed sessions on EIMS as a missed session (use dropdown menu for reason) Contact logs get reviewed - be clear!

Make up Example: Practitioner misses a once a week session for 2 weeks due to vacation. When making up that session the practitioner can only make up one session that week not two. (since it was a once a week service)

IFSP Review Process Form 25 Practitioner IFSP Review Summary is available on the SD website NJEIS-19 Form must be completed before 6 month and annual reviews at minimum of 30 days. Look at IFSP for end date it will also be noted in service logging. Progress should be tracked continually as periodically IFSP meetings can happen more frequently than the 6 month and annual

IFSP Review Process Practitioners must report on all outcomes
Guidelines for completion of this form can be found on our website Form completed and ed to your clinical educator and service coordinator Discuss completed form with parent

IFSP Review – Form 25 NJEIS-13,19

Practitioner IFSP Review Summary Form 25 NJEIS-13,19
Utilizing ongoing assessment – must track child’s progress. Multiple methods to do this include use of a tool such as ELAP, HELP, DAYC in conjunction with Birth to Three Early Learning Standards, parent report, observations, data collection Focus is on progress towards outcomes but we always look at overall development and report ongoing challenges

Practitioner IFSP Review Summary Form 25 NJEIS-13,19
Can also be completed at anytime during the IFSP period as part of the process for determining if any additional assessment is needed or if decrease or discharge from service is being recommended A rough guideline is to wait 2-3 months before recommending changes. This is not set in stone but gives time to see if plan is working as written.

Practitioner IFSP Review Summary (form 25)
Send completed form to the service coordinator and your clinical educator. Should be sent about a month before the end of the current IFSP period or earlier if you are recommending an additional assessment

Where to send form 25 If your RA is Marisa Lamonte-Paulsen or Sheryl Newman (non-ABA services) send to If your RA is Sarah Martin or Debbie Zielinski (non-ABA services) send to If your RA is Marisa Lamonte-Paulsen or Debbie Zielinski (ABA services) send to Remember to include service coordinator on – SC address is listed in IFSP

IFSP Review Service coordinator will schedule the meeting.

Role at IFSP Meeting Discuss Child’s Progress
Review Annual and Periodic Review Notes at the meeting with the rest of the team Discuss current strategies and outcomes and help to facilitate new outcomes with the family Service Coordinator is responsible to bring form 13 to IFSP meetings.

Annual IFSP TET re-administers BDI-2 annually and results are used in conjunction with information from the team in the home for eligibility redetermination NJEIS Form 14 – Documentation of Continued Eligibility Discussion and Decision is completed with the team at annual meetings In some cases, Informed Clinical Opinion can be used to establish eligibility when BDI-2 does not Service Coordinator will bring form NJEIS 14 to the meeting

Developing an Outcome Statement
Behavior-desired of the child/family. Specific details that describe what the behavior should look like Routine or activity in which the child/family will use the behavior Conditions associated with the behavior

Outcome example: Child Outcome Statement:
Jacquie will use words during mealtime to request or reject more food What is happening now? She whines when she wants more food and throws her dish when finished

Outcomes Strategies - very important part of outcome and can not be a restatement of the outcome Must be specific enough so families know how to implement strategies Also a good starting place when you receive a new case

What to bring to the IFSP Meeting
Copy of your IFSP Practitioner Review Summary Form 25 Tool used for ongoing assessment (for discussion) Service Encounter Verification Log (same form you use to log all other services)

Transition Planning Conference (TPC) NJEIS-20
With approval of the parent, a TPC must be convened not fewer than 90 calendar days and no sooner than 9 months before the child’s third birthday If the parent declines to have a TPC the transition plan is developed at an IFSP meeting Participants-Family, Service Coordinator, EI Practitioner, Child Study Team Member

Transition Plan Must Include:
Review of the program options for the toddler from their third birthday through the remainder of the school year Steps for the toddler and their family to exit from the Part C program Any transition services that the IFSP Team identifies as needed by the toddler and/or their family

Transition Planning Conference NJEIS-20
Your primary role at a TPC is to share child’s progress in EI not to make recommendations about placement after child turns 3 Team members can offer strategies to support transition Remember to log in your meeting in EIMS Practitioners should not attend the eligibility evaluation or IEP meeting that takes place at the school. They are not EI meetings See Policy NJEIS-20 Transition Planning and Opt-Out for further information on Transition Process

Transition When a child transitions out at 3 or because of ineligibility or withdrawal from NJEIS, there is no discharge report that needs to be completed. Parents should have been prepared for transition through activities developed during the TPC and should have a good idea where the child is developmentally through practitioners’ ongoing assessment. An additional Form 25 can always be completed if it has been awhile since the last one and the parents request further info
