Outreach Teacher, Early Interventionist

The early interventionist (EI, “developmental therapist”) will coach and support the caregivers of children ages birth to five years with developmental disabilities. The EI will use the family-guided routines-based intervention (FGRBI) model to teach caregivers evidence-based strategies that can be used within their daily routines to build their children’s skills. The skills targeted will be determined by the individualized family service plan (IFSP). The EI will participate in IFSP development and support the family throughout the early intervention and transition processes. The EI will develop and maintain positive relationships with caregivers and interact in a friendly, professional manner with colleagues. The position is funded through a State of Tennessee grant. The partnership is with Tennessee Early Intervention System, and the EI will work with other specialists from TEIS to support families. The work may be remote (telehealth sessions), in-person, or a hybrid.
