Special education intervention follows the parent coaching model and is centered around cognitive and play skill development. Because all early interventionists are cross trained to provide some intervention in each of the 5 areas of development, intervention may also focus on fine and gross motor development, language development, self-help/adaptive skill development and sensory integration. Job duties include being part of collaborative assessment team to provide developmental assessments to our clients.
Work is performed under general supervision and is guided by agency and PE-ID policies and procedures, Part C Practice Manual quality assurance, public and private payor guidelines, professional practices to include ethical standards related to client interactions, and state and federal licensure and accreditation regulations and guidelines.
